    I think Paulie Maliggnagi had a falling out with Buddy McGirt because he said he was only interested in money.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Only interested in money? but I recall Buddy giving Paulie a free haircut in between rounds. Seriously though, it's totally possible... you dont hear much from buddy or his kid now a days.
    As someone mentioned up above, his stock shot up like a rocket after tarver knocked out roy and people totally ignored the perfect storm of things that contributed to that and just credited Buddy with plan that turned tarver from crackhead to champion. Mcgirt had a hard on for roy for years and claimed he always had the plan to beat roy. Roy Dropping that weight and the slippage in skills. Tarver being a late bloomer and Roy fading so rapidly because his style was pivotal on his speed and reflexes rather than the fundamentals. Buddy looked like a genius because noone attributed it to being in the right place at the right time.
    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
