The bout generated a record smashing 4.6 million pay-per-view buys and over $600 million in revenue.

Sound like Roach liked what he saw

Roach peddling the myth that Malignaggi hasn't fought in "a long, long time" again.
It was 5 months ago ffs.
McGregor's last fight was in November!

Yes and he got ktfo by a decent leveled journeyman
Floyd isnt a journeyman

"He pushed him over. It looked like a knockdown push or whatever. It looked [like that] from the second footage - I couldn’t tell. I just can’t say [for sure]. I’m not in awe of it," Roach said.

Quite right, it wasn't impressive in the least. Only Conor fans are making out like it was a tysonesque KO.

And he looked rusty 5 months ago, so he wasn't in the best shape back then.

Obviously you've never trained for a competitive fight.. 5 months is plenty of time to get out of shape. A fighter who has been in the gym training sure as hell better get out on one who has not, and the fact that Paulie went 12 rounds with this guy doesn't bode well for McGregor.
