Video After The Jump
The past so-called beef between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Ronda Rousey was primarily a media creation.
Floyd has no ill will towards the former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion and is not kicking her while she's down, after consecutive losses to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes.
Instead, the boxing legend is offering words of support.
"I want Ronda Rousey [to] hold your head up, stay focused, keep believing. A true champion can bounce back. You'll be OK ... everything will be OK," Floyd told Fighthype in a new interview. "I think that with her losing, had a lot to do with [her taking] time off. She may should have competed against another MMA female fighter that wasn't as active as [Amanda Nunes]. I think the female that she faced ... I think she was rugged and tough, so we can't take anything away from the girl that she faced. The girl that Ronda Rousey faced she was a tough competitor. She was the better woman that night.
"But Ronda Rousey has a lot left. I don't want her to think this is the end of the world," he continued. "She hearing it from the best. She'll be OK. Ronda Rousey hold your head up. You're still a true champion in our eyes. You made women's MMA huge. So, stay focused, go back to the drawing board and do what you gotta do. 2017 is a whole new year. You're undefeated this year. Come back, champ."
