PAULIE MALIGNAGGI Now Only Boxing For The ''Money''
Collapse

good point ^ .. he was over achieving as a Title Holder to be honest .. and very fortunate to have achieved that level (thank you Lovemore N'Dou)
coming off the biggest loss of his career (next to Cotto) this interview comes across as very desperate, imo.
obviously most fighters want the biggest pay days possible
but outside of fighting Zab Judah, what's the incentive for anyone at 140 to fight Malignaggi, especially since he just lost to Ricky Hatton?
2 reasons that big Fights get made are because of big names involved (Hatton, Pacquiao, Mayweather, DLH, Trinidad)
or the fighter is exciting/the best in his division
Paulie isn't widely considered to be very exciting, and the Hatton loss had to have dropped him back quite a bit at 140.
he can shout about the big $$ fights, but who'll fight him?
Zab Judah might be Paulie's last big pay day left at 140.Comment

Paulie does sound like his given up on himself, that Hatton fight was hgue for him and the way it went down......god know how he felt, to be beaten by Hatton like that was shocking TBH.
Zab would be his last big payday......but i believe Urango for the IBF title is in the works, if he wins and gets the belt back...then the money may come again.
Just seems fed up, the hand is a huge factor really, he said it after the N'Dou fight, if its gets injured again he will consider retiring.....but he fought Hatton when his hand was fine but psychologically it effected him.
Man i obviously hope he comes back, i feel he still has alot to give but needs to stay at Gleasons, get back to basics.
Malignaggi v Judah
Malignaggi v Witter
Malignaggi v Bradley
Would all be some good fights.Comment

Real smart of you to openly say you've no desire for boxing, that'll get you money fights. Brilliant move Paulie.Comment

Iin the Cotto fight he didnt have an excuse, he was outboxed...though again...he didnt fight his own fight, he fought Cottos fight and still put up a hel of a good one.
A Cotto rematch would be a waste of time, he wont win in all honesty, if he beat Hatton then he may get it, he wont now, if he did get it, it be the same result ,great heart and put up a great fight but dont win.
Rather see osme ofthe fights i said. Im sad to hear what he said...but i understand wy he said about he wnat money now, secure his future as he hasnt got many fights left with that hand.Comment

It seems like that through Hatton continously punching him in the head that Hattons habit of referring to himself in third person has been transferred to Paulie.Comment
