Fans wondering how a fight between UFC women's bantamweight champion and destroyer "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey and boxing champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. would go now have a blueprint to some sort of clash laid out by Mayweather himself.
All Rousey has to do is start earning $300 million per fight.

"I've yet to see any MMA fighter or other boxer, make over $300 million in 36 minutes," Mayweather said. "When she can do that, call me."
Rousey vs. Mayweather debates pop up anytime one or both of them are in the news, and at the ESPYs Rousey caused a stir by firing off some verbal rounds after beating out Mayweather in the Fighter of the Year" category.
A call for boxing fans to boycott Mayweather vs. Berto
"I wonder how Floyd feels being beat by a woman for once," Rousey said referencing Mayweather's ugly-and lengthy-history of domestic violence. Rousey was miffed that about a year prior Mayweather didn't know who she was, and mistakenly called her "he" instead of she.
When a reporter asked him if he would ever fight her, Mayweather laughed. "Are you a comedian? You a comedian? I am in the one hundred million dollar business, not the one hundred thousand dollar business."
While Mayweather's May 2 dud vs. Manny Pacquiao, which was billed as "The Fight of the Century" and cost $100 for fans to watch in high definition on pay-per-view, did shatter all kinds of financial records his upcoming fight is expected to crater.
Mayweather is set to face Andre Berto, a former champion who is 3-3 in his last six fights and has lost to two opponents-Victor Ortiz and Robert Guerrero-who have been beaten soundly by Mayweather.
It's probably unreasonable to expect Mayweather to face Rousey; the two participate in entirely different sports, and really no one should encourage a man with a domestic violence history to fight a woman in any capacity. For Rousey generates much more attention than Mayweather gives her credit for, and he isn't impressing fight fans with his latest choice of opponent.
