Mayweather jabs back at Rousey over earnings
Print Edition
VERBAL sparring between Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Ronda Rousey continued as the unbeaten welterweight champ laughed off the mixed martial arts star’s dig at his earning power.
“Big bank take little bank,” Mayweather told TMZ Sports. “Let’s play and see how much money you got. Last time I checked I was #1 on Forbes.”
Rousey, a former Olympic judoka who is the biggest global star on the UFC circuit after a series of explosive victories, had taunted Mayweather in comments to TMZ — reckoning she earns more per second than he does. “When he learns to read and write, he can text me,” Rousey told the website.
Mayweather’s US$300 million in earnings over 12 months as calculated by Forbes in June includes his take from his May mega-fight with Manny Pacquiao — the highest-grossing in boxing history. He said Rousey wasn’t in his league.
“She will never be at my status,” he told TMZ. “Keep trying to get publicity.”
However, Forbes weighed in on Thursday, saying that Rousey’s calculations were correct and that after defeating Alexis Davis and Cat Zingano in a combined 30 seconds of fighting she was, in fact, making more per second than Mayweather even before she beat Bethe Correia in 34 seconds in her most recent fight in Rio de Janeiro this month.
