he “world’s most dangerous woman” has just claimed that she is strong enough to defeat the number one male boxer in the world if they fought in a freestyle match. But ESPN believes that this is unprecedented and will never happen.
An ESPN expert said that the public is talking about the possibility of a free-for-all match between Ronda Rousey and Floyd Mayweather in the same way as talking about a big fight only seen in movies between “Superman” and “Batman”.
The US news agency also emphasized that organizing a fight between a man and a woman is a very inappropriate idea. A match between a real boxer (Mayweather) and an Olympic medalist judo expert (Ronda Rousey) is unprecedented and will only be mentioned for entertainment purposes.
The Mayweather – Rousey fight will never happen for the following reasons:
No governing body would approve such a fight . Any professional fight would only be held after being licensed by a governing body. Mixed martial arts (MMA) fights in the UFC in the US are now also conducted under the guidelines and regulations of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. This is the organization that licenses unarmed combat sports events in the state of Nevada, with most boxing and mixed martial arts matches taking place in Las Vegas.
State athletic commissions in the US are notoriously generous with their licensing, as boxing and mixed martial arts fights generate huge revenues for the states. But no commission would be crazy enough to approve a fight between a male boxing superstar and a female MMA fighter.
There is no broker to promote the match. It is difficult for any promoter or event organizer to promote the negotiation of such a match, because it is really stupid. Would any broker dare to risk his reputation to participate in organizing a sporting event between two famous athletes, but a fight between two people of the opposite sex.
Mayweather has been in trouble for domestic violence . The 38-year-old boxer spent 60 days in jail for a misdemeanor domestic violence charge. This is just one example of the many times Mayweather has faced accusations of violence against women.
For this delicate reason, a match between Mayweather and Rousey will never even be organized by any organization, even in the WWE (wrestling) ring.
No fighter would seriously want to take on such a fight. In a recent interview with ESPN ’s SportsCenter , Mayweather boasted that Rousey should call him if she “could potentially make over $300 million in 36 minutes,” like he did in his win over Manny Pacquiao. But that was just a war of words, referring to their back-and-forth comments. In reality, Rousey would never call Mayweather if she were to make $500 million in 36 minutes in a fight. And conversely, someone like Mayweather would never take a call from Rousey.
Similarly, when Rousey says “I can beat anyone in the world,” it is simply a message affirming her confidence.
