Mayweather v Rousey: The war of Words image

Ronda Rousey is the darling of the fighting world with her UFC dominance and brash attitude, but Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. isn't fretting.

Before the ESPYs last month, Rousey was presented with the Best Fighter award over Mayweather. In her acceptance interview she said: "I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once. I'd like to see you pretend to not know who I am now."

So Thursday night on ESPN promoting his fight with Andre Berto, Mayweather was asked about Rousey's comments and responded in the most Mayweather way possible.

"I've yet to see any MMA fighter, or other boxer, make over $300 million in 36 minutes," Mayweather said, via MMAFighting.com. "When she can do that, then call me."

Mayweather referred to the outrageous loot he made for his bout against Manny Pacquiao that was dubbed the "Fight of the Century" before the actual product left the world largely disappointed.

The UFC responded to Mayweather's taunts on Rousey's behalf, tweeting a highlights video with the hastag #SheDontNeed12Rounds, referring to the speed with which she beats up her opponents.

 

 

The verdict: Rousey/UFC by knockout.
