Re: Mayweather on Rhonda Rousey.
If Ronda thinks she could beat a male MMA fighter in her weight category, then I say let her try!

Here in Britain, MMA is rarely, if ever, mentioned by major news outlets (BBC, ITV, The Sun/Mirror). I think the Daily Mail and The Star are the only newspapers that cover MMA and to watch the UFC you need a subscrition TV sports channel (BT Sport). I work with mostly guys (typical mens men - sports fans, etc) and I'm shocked by being the only MMA fan out of everyone on my shift. The Groves/Froch Boxing match however, drew a lot of attention.

Re: Mayweather on Rhonda Rousey.
I don't like Mayweather. I seriously root for him to lose every time he steps into the ring. That being said, he's known in Sweden. He's possibly the most recognizable athlete in the world right now. LeBron James, Lionel Messi, Tiger Woods and Floyd Mayweather are worldwide icons. Rhonda Rousey isn't. Even Danica Patrick is better known than Rousey. That's probably why Dana White keeps talking about Rousey in sensational terms. To get her name out there and hoping people will care more about her. We care in here because that's who we are. In the grand scheme of things though, nobody thinks much about her. Not yet. Not until she wins an iconic fight.

MMA is much bigger than pro boxing here now. Lower weightclass boxing? No one cares, not media, not people. I can talk for sweden and denmark. I did a seach in the biggest newspaper jus to check. Maywather : 4 hits (2014) Ronda Rousey: 48 hits (2014) "I don't like Mayweather. I seriously root for him to lose every time he steps into the ring. That being said, he's known in Sweden. He's possibly the most recognizable athlete in the world right now. LeBron James, Lionel Messi, Tiger Woods and Floyd Mayweather are worldwide icons. Rhonda Rousey isn't. Even Danica Patrick is better known than Rousey. . " I assume you also are american. If i would ask 10 friends of mine (Swedish guys) , all ten would recognize messi and Tiger Woods. Lebron? maybe 7-8 Ronda? maybe 5 Mayweather? i would be very surprised of he got one. No one here have Heard of him. I promise. Woldwide Icon? No way. Maybe a national icon i US, but not outside. Mike Tyson then? I promise you he would get 10 of 10 Points... |

Re: Mayweather on Rhonda Rousey.
Mayweather was the # 1 money maker in sports 2 years ago, I don't know where he is in ranking since but I know he is still up there. Sports is a pretty big thing, to be #1 money maker means your a legend.

Re: Mayweather on Rhonda Rousey.
He's known in Sweden. His fights are telecast on tv is Sweden. It's true that Sweden is very nationalistic and currently they do have a local boy doing well in MMA. They're not ignorant over there. They sell out an Iron Maiden concert as quick as any country. They are not reclusive to where they don't see things happening outside of Sweden. I know this because I have a lot of Swedish friends. They bitch about Mayweather as much as I do. He's not some unknown guy that only Americans hate. He's hated around the world. He's obnoxious and arrogant. He had over two million ppv buys recently. MMA had about 90 thousand. People want to see him lose and they'll pay to watch it happen. Finding Swedish ratings for some reason is a nightmare so I couldn't get numbers to see exactly how many Swedes watched his fight.I'm not saying he's Peter Forsberg popular, but he is well known around the world. Certainly better known than Rhonda Rousey.

Re: Mayweather on Rhonda Rousey.
Dana White just wants publicity and he doesnt care how he gets it. He is the MMA equivalent of Vince McMahon (Late 90's). As for Floyd's response to the interviewer: Of course Floyd knows who Rousey is but they were discussing possible real opponents for his next fight and when the interviewer brought up Rousey and Floyd said "whos he?" He wasnt trying to be disrespectful to Rhonda, he was basically giving a smart ass remark because he got a smart ass question from an unprofessional reporter. They were discussing boxers and Floyd said "whos he" because there are no boxers with that name.
