Espinoza saying that the McGregor camp would only offer the short amount of footage which Dana White released last week of the sparring with Malignaggi.
Makes you think that McGregor got lot up the rest of the time if they’re hiding the rest or maybe they just dont trust showtime not to give it to Mayweathers camp for analysis? Thoughts?
“Dana’s misinformed here because we were dealing directly with Conor’s team on this,” Espinoza said. "We did not receive, as Dana said, a ton of footage. We received a few short clips. Roughly a minute total which were provided by the Conor camp. We reviewed them and were very interested in using them and including them in ‘All Access.’
“But it was a series of sort of spliced-together McGregor highlights, eight or nine seconds each. We didn’t want to use the whole thing. It was sort of repetitive. We were told if we didn’t use the whole segment as they edited it then we couldn’t use it at all. So in the end, Conor’s camp withheld permission for us to use it. Otherwise we definitely wanted to use it. There was no intent to protect Paulie. We just wanted to cut some of the clips because it was pretty redundant, repetitive stuff.”
If they released only a few short clips of the first round everyone would be crying where's the 2nd round ?? Where's the 3rd ?? Instead it was the 12th round showing Conor fresh landing leather while paulie is looking like he's fighting for his life.. good call only showing the 12th proves a lot of haters wrong
all the hack punches to the back of the head and not with the front of his glove in the released footage indicate that is part of his attack
Those were not clean and most likely will not be allowed in the “fight”
If the rest of the footage shows a bunch of that wack ass technique mixed in with a few nice clean techniques(like the straight left that he caught pauli with)…then it would do more damage to the PPV numbers than good
Jeff may weather saw the horrible technique and it makes him chuckle

Paulie had said before the release that he didnt do well the last 2 rounds
