The history between Floyd Mayweather and Ronda Rousey dates back to when 'Rowdy' was competing in the UFC.

In an interview from 2014 with BoxingScene.com's David Greisman, Floyd Mayweather referred to Ronda Rousey as 'he.' When asked about Rousey, who was the women's bantamweight champion at the time, Mayweather answered:

"I don't even know who he is... I ain't know who that is."

Floyd Mayweather's comments didn't sit well with UFC president Dana White, who then expressed his opinion on a potential match-up between Ronda Rousey and 'Money.' He said that 'Rowdy' would beat Mayweather in an MMA fight.

In an appearance on ESPN, White said:

"She'd definitely beat him. She'd beat him and she'd hurt him bad. Have you ever seen Floyd Mayweather? He's tiny. He's about this big. Trust me there'd be no problem. I've seen her throw bigger men than Floyd Mayweather and hurt them bad. She'd hurt him... It [wouldn't last long], it'd be over quick. If she put her hands on him it'd be over."

Ronda Rousey also chimed in, stating she made two to three times more money per second than the self-proclaimed 'TBE' (The Best Ever). She also addressed her remarks while on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Mayweather then reacted in typical fashion, saying that Rousey should first make $300 million and then call him out.
