The war of words between Floyd Mayweather and Ronda Rousey continues.
Earlier this week the MMA star said that she makes more money per second than Floyd Mayweather, a dubious claim given that the pound-for-pound king made more than $220 million for his fight against Manny Pacquiao.
“I don’t know if you saw the Floyd thing, he said, ‘If you make $300 million in a night you can give me a call,'” Rousey said to TMZ Sports. “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. I think I actually make two to three times more than he does per second. When he learns to read and write, he can text me. … I’m just a little bit more efficient.”
Floyd, who is gearing up for his Sept. 12 bout against Andre Berto, fired back Thursday in a statement to TMZ through a team member:
“Big bank take little bank. Let’s play and see how much money you got. Last time I checked I was No. 1 on Forbes’ (highest-paid athletes list). She will never be at my status. Keep trying to get publicity.”
Your turn, Rousey.
