At least one fellow professional athlete is not willing to overlook Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s history of domestic violence issues.
Accesshollywood.com is reporting that MMA champion Ronda Rousey took a verbal jab at Mayweather, the current WBA and WBO welterweight champion and WBC and WBA super-welterweight champion during an interview she did on her upcoming role in the "Entourage" movie.
Reporters Rachel Nichols, Michele Beadle banned from Floyd Mayweather fight for speaking out on his domestic violence issues?
Access Hollywood reporter Stephanie Bauer asked the UFC women's bantamweight champion about her prospects in a hypothetical bout with Mayweather.
"Mayweather is undefeated. You're undefeated... could you take him down?" Bauer asked Rousey.

"Well, I would never say that I can't beat anyone, but I don't think me and him would ever fight," Ronda said.
"Unless we ended up dating."

A 2014 Deadspin.com article documented Mayweather's unfortunate history of domestic violence issues.
"Floyd Mayweather's history of misogyny, expressed-as he is wont to do-through violence, is well-documented and reprehensible," Deadspin.com reported. "It extends over a dozen years and includes at least seven separate physical assaults on five different women that resulted in arrest or citation, as well as several other instances where the police had to be summoned in response to an actual or perceived threat from Mayweather."
Before his megafight against Manny Pacquiao earlier this month, Mayweather's camp also was accused of pulling media credentials for television reporters Michelle Beadle and Rachel Nichols, both of whom have been outspoken about Mayweather's past.
Rousey's Access Hollywood interview turned away from Mayweather's issues and focused on Rousey's love life, asking her what kind of man she'd like to date.
"Everyone expects that I want these giant, burly guys, and that's not really the case. I don't come home from the gym and feel like super rough... I want to be a girl when I come home. I want to be taken care of when I get home," the single badass bombshell explained.
"Right now, I'm waiting for a tall, dark pediatrician or something, you know," she smiled. "Something like that."
The banter took away from Rousey's response about Mayweather, but at least she let her thoughts be known.
