Malignaggi said, “Conor McGregor had to apologize to Stephen Espinoza in order to get tickets to the Gervonta Davis for Ryan Garcia fight. Because, you know, everybody knows that McGregor has had issues, with his issues run ins with Espinoze in the past, and they were enemies as well. But Espinoza now controls the tickets. It’s a showtime fight. He had to apologize. And this p***y apologized just to get tickets to the fight.”
Moreover, ‘Magic Man’ had a question for ‘The Notorious’. He added, “Just when I thought you couldn’t sink any lower, you apologized just for tickets.”
Malignaggi further stated that he would never have apologized. Undeniably, it was hard for many to believe that McGregor apologized to someone he previously called a “weasel”.
