Floyd Mayweather jabs Ronda Rousey: Call me 'when you make $300M in 36 minutes'

In between promoting his final fight against opponent Andre Berto, Floyd Mayweather Jr. still found time to take another jab at Ronda Rousey, MMA’s biggest attraction, during an interview on Thursday.


Mayweather connected with the verbal hit on ESPN’s SportsCenter when he said, “I’ve yet to see any MMA fighter, or other boxer, make over $300 million in 36 minutes. When she can do that, then call me."

The attack on the UFC sensation follows Rousey’s dig at Mayweather about his past history of domestic violence at the ESPY’s last month, where she beat him out for Fighter of the Year.


 “I wonder how Floyd feels being beaten by a woman for once," she said while posing for the media on the red carpet.

Both fighters have never experienced a loss in their professional careers (Mayweather 48-0 in the boxing ring, and Rousey 12-0 in MMA), and have continued to verbally spar since the ESPYs.

Mayweather also repeated his declaration that this is the last bout of his career, although a grin he flashed said otherwise. Mayweather previously retired in 2008, but it barely lasted a year.

The pound-for-pound champ will fight Berto at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sept. 12.

Expect another exchange with Rousey sooner.

Derek Jeter gets slimed at Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Sports Awards 2015 (VIDEO)

The awards keep rolling in for Derek Jeter even in retirement. But his latest accolade made him look more like a trophy than just accepting one.


Just a day after he was presented with the Icon award at the ESPYs, the former Yankees shortstop got slimed with golden goo onstage after accepting the Legends Award at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Sports Awards 2015 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion.


Dripping in the golden gunk, Jeter smiled brightly and held his blimp statue high above his head in front of the amused crowd of kids.



He may never put an Academy Award in his trophy case but, with his shaved head and gold-covered body, at least Jeter got to look like a giant Oscar for one night.

Ronda Rousey zings Floyd Mayweather in interview (VIDEO)

Ronda Rousey, the UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, and one the most popular fighters in mixed martial arts, was honored Wednesday when she was named an ESPY award winner for Best Fighter.

Rousey did not have an award ceremony. Insead, she was rather casually presented with the award on the red carpet, at which point she decided to stare directly into the camera and use the moment to diss Floyd Mayweather Jr..

“I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once,” she said with a cold glare then a laugh. “I'd like to see him pretend to not know who I am now.”




On Tuesday, Mayweather told a group of reporters that he was unaware of Rousey's existence. “I don't even know who he is,” Mayweather said before being corrected and told that Rousey is indeed a woman. “I ain't know who that is,” he maintained.


Rousey says she'll never fight a man but, let’s see how this rolls out.

The Pacquiao-Mayweather fight took about five years to finally arrange so I’m just guessing that we could see a Mayweather-Rousey bout sometime around 2020 — probably when Money needs a little more spending cash.

Caitlyn Jenner won’t face felony charges in deadly crash: Report

Caitlyn Jenner will likely not face felony charges for a fatal California car crash in February, a report said.


LA County Sheriff’s investigators viewed a video of Jenner’s SUV hitting a Lexus, back when the transgender Olympic great was still known as Bruce, and determined the accident to be ordinary negligence, TMZ said.

Jenner was not intoxicated or texting during the horrific accident, which killed 69-year-old Kim Howe.


The highest charge Jenner could face is misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter but, according to TMZ, these cases typically get dismissed altogether.

The news comes right before Jenner is scheduled to receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs on Wednesday night.

Kris Humphries gets tossed from club by Kelly Osbourne

Kris Humphries looked "mortified" when he was thrown out of a Hollywood hotspot Wednesday night  by none other Kelly Osbourne— better known as Ozzy's daughter.

A source told The New York Post's Page Six that Osbourne was aghast when the 72-day husband of her BFF Kim Kardashian walked into Beacher's Madhouse after the ESPY's.  She summoned security who had the Brooklyn Nets' forward escorted out of the Sunset Blvd. nightspot.  Kardashian is a regular at the celebrity hangout and little Ozzy wanted to show her support for her reality show friend.

 Osbourne — who's really famous for nothing either but is the creative director of the club— wanted to show loyalty to her pal and used her clout to get Humphries tossed.



The source told Page Six: "You could see the disgust in her face.  She sent security over and they kicked him out."

It's one thing to get embarrassed by a shorts-dropping slam-dunk by Blake Griffin but to get showed up by the bratty kid of a rock legend— horrifying.

"Kris was so embarrassed and pissed," said the witness.

Sounds like she'll be famous for biting the head off a Net.  Get on the Crazy Train and come back east Kris.  We hear they want you in Charlotte.
