The malignaggi story is perfect promotion for the fight. However, I agree to disagree with you on the sparring treatment, especially with a fight like this.
My Explanation Using Analogy
When McGregor and Paulie sparred they in fact created a file and wrote code in it and when the sparring finished, the file was saved and it's a file that can't be destroyed.
McGregor and Paulie have full access to that file while the spectators in the room have about 95% of it (5% is the very subtle things that count).
This is a file that is public and has a password that only a few people know. Sections of the information were released (sparring photos) and people are trying to hack the full file (articles, videos, analysis, unbiased analysis) and the McGregor camp put Paulie in a situation where he was willing to release the information
For a fight of this magnitude and being someone that hasn't stepped foot in the squared circle, it can be risky for your unknowing style to be revealed to the world and most importantly, the person your fighting.
That's the way I see it ;) and your post motivated me to do a full unbiased detailed analysis of Lomanchenko and Rigondeaux and the winner out of the 2.
