Rousey and Dana White have been taking shots at Floyd Mayweather for almost two years now. Mayweather’s only reply to them was to say.
“Who is he?”
That only fueled Rousey’s beef with him. Her latest shot at Mayweather came at the ESPYS awards.

When asked about all the shots she has taking at him, Rousey was pretty honest.
Rousey publicly called out Mayweather’s history of domestic violence. In May, Rousey said, “I don’t think that me and him would ever fight unless we ended up dating.”
Rousey’s 14-second victory over Cat Zingano clinched the UFC women’s bantamweight title and highlighted her ESPY nomination, and she was the first person other than Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao to win the award.
She next will face Bethe Correia at UFC 190 on Aug. 1 in Rio de Janeiro.
“It got a big reaction, and I’ve got a fight to sell,” Rousey told reporters of the Mayweather dis. “So great timing, huh? I’m not dumb.”
Rousey hangs out with Mike Tyson, so it isn’t like she is immuned to hanging out with guys who haven’t always been the nicest outside of the ring.
So, take her disses of Mayweather with a grain of salt going forward. She is using him to make herself bigger, that is just good marketing.
