Ex-boxing champion Paulie Malignaggi thinks could be making millions of dollars as a professional boxer.
Since making his Octagon debut in 2021, ‘The Baddy’ has emerged as one of the UFC’s top stars, earning a whopping $400,000 for his latest win against former Bellator titleholder ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler.
It’s undoubtedly a nice chunk of change for the Liverpudlian, but according to Malignaggi, he could be making a hell of a lot more money in eight-ounce gloves.
“Paddy Pimblett is a guy that’s now so big that his base [purse] would probably start at 20 million dollars if he were a boxer,” Malignaggi said in an interview courtesy of Spin Genie.
