Comments Thread For: Showtime Permanently Removes Malignaggi From Broadcasting Team Over IFL TV Comments

[texasboi15]

What was that the song that went something like "I'm a texasboi, I'm texas-made"?

I don't fckin know

[factsarenice]

I don't think those comments were the ones showtime is irate about. I believe the more upsetting comment was something around the lines of " i don't believe blacks have been oppressed the last 100 years because if a white boy said the same thing Henay did, he'll lose all TV contracts and would be untouchable"

If Malinaggi said the same thing Henay did, he'd lose all TV contracts and would be untouchable.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

I'ts pretty bizarre. By my count, there are twice as many African American champions as Eastern Europeans ones (nine vs five). I don't get what he means.

And his comment on black people not facing consequences for speaking recklessly is simply wrong. Nick Canon just lost his job for saying racist ****.

As a public figure, Paulie's dumb ass should have KNOWN that that saying "Eastern Europeans are the dominant species" in the ****ing radio would make him unemployed immediately.

Dude is a moron and stayed true to form, I guess.



Couldn't agree more. He was literally famous for crying about other fighters accomplishments. Dude made boxing look bad so often that you'd think that was his job.

By Malignaggi's logic, India is due to dominate boxing. Punjabi domination is unavoidable, the Euro's are going to be salty when that era comes.

Just listened to the interview.
The indoctrinators were probably bothered by the part in which he said that "racial oppression is being exaggerated by the media", which is totally true.
Sky will probably drop him too cuz they're owned by US MSM indoctrinator Comcast.

Comcast is my ISP provider, I'm calling them right now.

You're really are reaching there lol

According to Paulie, Laszlo Fazekas is top five on his resume.

[Goldie]

Good decision. He exposed himself as a racist and since showtime are dependent on black fighters, that kind of disrespect couldn’t tolerated.

In the media, only anti-white racism and ******* "oppression due to skin color/gender" talking points are allowed. The truth will get you fired.

Stop crying. You white supremacists have an entire major network set up to spew your overtly racist propaganda 24/7. Even the white ******** media platforms promote whites supremacy, it’s just the indirect covert kind.

Paulie should've NEVER Engaged in that Conversation

As a Commentator/Analyst you're suppose to be as "Partial" as possible, after that comment yeah it is impossible to consider him "Partial" and "Unbiased". That is not to defend Devin Haney comment which he apologized for after serious backlash for his comment and rightfully so.

Now if you're just some idiot on a Boxing Forum hiding behind a IP and can't be held responsible for your Ignorant Comments then yeah sure you can spend your days on a Forum engaging in and posting all type of Racist or "Racially Divisive Stuff" but when you're a public figure with an employer (in Paulie's case a Cooperation like Viacom/CBS) then yeah you just cannot do that

1st *********/Freedom Of Speech I understand all that, however read the fine print in your contracts and or the Papers you fill out when someone hire you. You give up your Freedom to make Money to Feed Your Family Basically!

Now Showtime did give him a opportunity to apologize and he declined so he made his decision. Who knows maybe he wanted out to go somewhere else like DAZN or something I don't know but right now doesn't seem like the best time to try and go somewhere else

Roy Jones Jr contract with HBO is officially up in December though, Showtime should get Roy

[Eff Pandas]

No secret that IFL TV is in bed with Hearn. No secret that DAZN's announcing team sucks and Hearn wanted a upgrade there. 3D chess being played by Hearn to get Paulie over to DAZN!

That would be an interesting turn of events. Definitely odd that Paulie is getting fired in July from something released months ago that less than 20k folks heard. Pretty sure I've heard more harsh takes on his podcast before he quit doing it than in this video.

Wonder who Showtime replaces him with?

Personally I had Showtime as the best announcing team in boxing after I finally embraced that wrasslin guy for what he does well which is hype things up. Al is still my favorite guy outside the ring in boxing so as long as they keep a good mesh of personalities together it shouldn't fook up Showtime's team too bad. My nightmare is they make Brenden Schaub the new guy.

[D.I.E.S.E.L]

Sometimes you need to know when and when not to touch a subject strategically. He fcked up and that's what it cost him

[Willy Wanker]

I never liked Paulie much, but I thought he was a good commentator. For all the dumb things he said during interviews and on social media, he was actually very professional and composed when he was working behind the commentary booth.

Oh well, he only has himself to blame. A guy with a mouth that big was bound to say something that would get him fired.

Yeah, SHO's broadcasting team is the best by far. So they definitely a dip with Paulie gone. They can replace him with Tarver, Roy or Marquez. I believe Roy can officially sign with another company in a few months when his HBO deal runs out. That would be the ideal replacement but Tarver was really good at this as well.

As for Paulie? I'm sure it wasn't intentional by IFL TV lol. But that is definitely a move I can see happening. He loves Hearn and the UK in general. Maybe he is one of the announcers on DAZN UK?

[GBP4LIFE]

Ridiculous that an apology was required.. this country is so sensitive.. should have gave the fake apology and kept it moving
