Malignaggi was not happy about the leaked sparring photos and has left Camp McGregor. He’s also demanded unedited sparring footage to be published.
I came to help this camp out, not to be exploited, now your gonna get the truth though. Post FULL UNEDITED VIDEO FROM TUES night #Ethics

Malignaggi also tweeted that he put a proper beating on McGregor during sparring and this resulted in the push down from the Irishman.
Nah I pretty much talked shit that whole sparring session while I beat the breaks off him, the push down was his frustration from it. https://t.co/m0IDBP0pB2
