I am curious will mainstream media report this?
Because this is a very classy statement from Mayweather and I sincerely doubt Rousey would have said the same to him if he would have gotten knocked unconscious. Here is what Mayweather said to Fight Hype.
“I don’t think it’s cool how everyone is trolling her on social media. Certain things you have to learn. People will love you on Friday and then Sunday morning, it’s nothing but negative comments and people making jokes and people making fun about you, which I don’t think is cool. I’ve never been on the other side, so I don’t know how it feels. I’m pretty sure she’s a very, very strong person, but we still have to take into consideration that she has feelings,” Mayweather explained. “Everything happens for a reason. This was already written. Listen, if God says, ‘In Floyd’s career, I don’t want him to lose,’ you know what? I wasn’t going to lose. That doesn’t mean that I haven’t took a loss before. I’m not talking about boxing; I’m just talking about life. When you lose a loved one, that’s taking a loss. I think that everything is just a learning experience. In due time, she’ll be able to bounce back and make some noise again in mixed martial arts.”
This is the exact opposite of what people thought Mayweather would say and regardless of what you think of him personally he decided to take the high road, when it was very easy to take the low road.
At the Lakers game here is what Mayweather had to say.
“Just in boxing period, contact sports period, you win some, you lose some,” Mayweather said Sunday at Staples Center, where he watched a Los Angeles Lakers-Detroit Pistons NBA game. “I don’t know about this fight, I just know that you win some and you lose some. It basically comes with the territory.”
He also confirmed that he didn’t tell 50 Cent to post anything about Rousey, which is what I was also told by Mayweather’s team.
50 Cent is a known troll, but people wanted Mayweather to take the low road so badly they just ran with it without any verification.
Mayweather showed respect for Rousey even though it could have been real easy to bring up her domestic violence history and her dating a married an alleged domestic abuser.
I wonder if Rousey will reply?
