UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey destroys her opponents in the Octagon, and she’s been doing a pretty good job on Floyd Mayweather as well.
Rousey started the trash talk at the ESPYs back in July when she joked about how Mayweather might feel getting beat by a woman for once (since she topped him and won the “best fighter” award). Mayweather recently responded by saying, “I’ve yet to see any MMA fighter, or other boxer, make over $300 million in 36 minutes. When she can do that, then call me.”
If you thought it was going to end there, you were very wrong.
Rousey fired back again after she was “interviewed” tracked down by TMZ while walking her dog in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
“[Floyd] said ‘You make $300 million a night, then you can give me a call’ … and I actually did the math and given the numbers of my last fight, I’m actually the highest paid UFC fighter and I’m a woman,” she argued. “I think I actually make 2-3 times more than he does per second … so when he learns to read and write, he can text me.”
At first, it looked like the two were just joking around, but it’s now starting to look more like they really don’t like one another.
If that is, indeed, the case—my money’s on Rousey.
