Here's an article from ******** Boxing that may or may night be true, though it's all speculation. But from the sound of it, I don't think Arturo is Paulie's idol anymore (http://www.********boxing.com/news.php?p=9947&more=1)...

Fistic Flashes: Gatti Disses Paulie And Crew! Silverhawk To Announce TV Fight Series! Byrd Flying To Ba***** To Paint Sherwin Williams!

19.02.07 - By Michael Marley, ******************.com: NEW YORK --It was just before the last call for alcohol at Tir Na Nog, the Irish watering hole near the Hammerstein Ballroom and the Garden. Arturo Gatti and his sidekicks were in the house and the ****tails were flowing. Fresh from his easy decision victory over Edner Cherry, Yo Paulie Malignaggi and his younger, Brooklyn entourage were also imbibing.

Now, as a follow-up to my early Sunday exclusive that HBO is willing to buy Gatti vs. Malignaggi for a July 14 Atlantic City showdown which will be more ******uous than a family reunion in a redneck-infested trailer park, I can tell you that remarks were made, insults were hurled and Malignaggi no longer idolizes Mr. Gatti..

"Profane remarks were made, maybe not to Paulie's face, but by Gatti and his cronies to Paulie's friends. One of them said Paulie stings like a crippled mosquito. Another guy said Paulie belongs on the old "Dance Fever" TV show. One thing led to another and feelings were hurt. Paulie will never look at Gatti with the respect he used to have for the old warrior," an eyewitness told me. "They just were not too nice to Paulie and notice was taken. I guess Arturo was getting his game face on."

A source close to Malignaggi and his manager, Sal LoNano, confirmed that the Gatti posters have been taken down in the Malignaggi Mansion.

"When Paulie lost to Miguel Cotto," the source said. "he got a cheer up call from Gatti. Arturo, who is great buddies with old rival Mickey Ward (also handled by LoNano), told Paulie to keep his chin up, that he had big balls...words of encouragement to a young fighter who suffered his first loss. So Paulie was surprised by the sudden badmouthing from Gatti and his posse."

A premium cable TV network source, speaking for background only, told me Monday "that HBO wants the fight. But HBO will not give Gatti what he wants, which is a warm up fight. HBO does not care if there is no title at stake. They see it as a passing of the torch type event and, if it is 10 rounds, so what?"

From what I know, there is no truth to this fight. Malignaggi has no intentions of going up to 147 to face Gatti, when he is in the mix for two title fights, with Lovemore Ndou and Ricardo Torres.

Intresting,but like already mentioned there's a few thing's that make this match up un realistic, for one who will buddy mcgirt part side's with in this kind fight? the recently incorporated paulie who can be considerd a prospect and have potential of a few title fight's? or the washed up arturo gatti who is almost on E looking for 1 last good pay day? This is more of a case of the old school italian guy vs the new school italian kid on the neighborhood hand ball court's,When you analyze this kind of story it's like a profound movie with a new generation ending,especially since decent italian boxer's come by the decade this is just a fairy tale fight to me ,and certainly not something the sport need's and certainly not a way to progress paulie's career,yet end gatti's.

I don't buy it for a second.

Unless Gatti knows that Paulie would not do this fight, and is trying to get him to take it so he can get a paycheck.
