Ronda Rousey would be 'close' to making Floyd Mayweather's money in 50 fights

UFC women's star Ronda Rousey discusses the pay gap between herself and Floyd Mayweather.

'Money' Mayweather is an apt nickname for the boxing legend. The undefeated boxer earned a staggering $180 million in his fight with Manny Pacquiao earlier in May. The pound for pound best in MMA get paid a substantially lower amount but that's to be expected given that the sport is still in its infancy.

One of the issues brought up by Yahoo News correspondent Bianna Golodryga was the disparity in fighter pay between female star Ronda Rousey and pay-per-view giant, Floyd Mayweather.
