Has The UFC Enjoyed This Mayweather-Rousey Tango?

Ronda Rousey and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have been linked in conversations over the last couple months. All of this stemmed from Joe Rogan saying that Ronda Rousey would beat Floyd Mayweather in a MMA fight. Right now, Floyd Mayweather is the biggest marketable fighter as well as being the best fighter in the world, so obviously saying Ronda Rousey would beat Floyd Mayweather would cause some media attention.

Things sort of died down until recently where a video of a person asking Mayweather who Ronda Rousey was and he replied with I don't know who "he" is. Now just on that comment you could take it two different ways. 1) that Floyd knows who exactly Ronda Rousey is and is just pretending like he doesn't know. 2) That Floyd is in his own planet that all he is worried about is himself and his inner circle. The perception of that video is Floyd is acting like he doesn't know who she is.

With all this Mayweather-Rousey talk, this is an argument where there is absolutely no way for Floyd Mayweather to look good. Floyd cant dispute any of the people who are saying Rousey would beat Floyd in an MMA or a street fight because he would portray a picture of himself beating up a pretty blonde women and with Mayweather's domestic violence past, it would not be a good look.

Rousey has everything to gain in these discussions because she is being discussed with the pound for pound champion and also the #1 pay per view attraction. Anything where Ronda Rousey is being praised over that type of a fighter is good for Ronda Rousey and definitely good for the UFC.

Dana White has gotten himself into this issue by saying "What's Floyd going to say? That's a lose-lose situation for Floyd," "For him to even acknowledge that he knows who Ronda is, and that she could possibly beat him in a fight, ya know, that's what I'd expect him to say."

Dana had agreed this was a no win situation for Floyd. No matter what the argument is there is no way Dana White would take the side of Floyd Mayweather over who he calls the biggest star in Ronda Rousey. Any publicity involving Floyd Mayweather and the UFC is a win for the UFC.
