Rousey 'not surprised' she surpassed Floyd Mayweather in PPV buys

Floyd Mayweather, hailed as boxing's biggest star and the richest athlete in the world, drew underwhelming pay-per-view numbers for his retirement fight with Andre Berto.

'The Best Ever' extended his boxing resume to an immaculate 49-0 when he beat Berto on September 12th, matching the record of Rocky Marciano. Despite the victory and retirement, however, Mayweather is estimated to have drew only 500,000 PPV buys, a far cry from the the 4.4 million achieved in the Manny Pacquiao super-fight.

After Ronda Rousey called out Mayweather at the ESPYs, 'Pretty Boy' returned fire by mocking the bantamweight champ's star power.
