Ronda Rousey named 8th-highest paid female athlete in the world

[Actualized174]

Ronda Rousey was named the eighth-highest earning female athlete in the world in a recent study conducted by Forbes.

Forbes estimated that Rousey drew $3 million in fight earnings and $3.5 million in endorsement earnings over the course of the study. Within that time frame, Rousey appeared in three big budget films -- The Expendables 3, Fast and Furious 7, and Entourage -- and landed endorsement campaigns with Reebok, Metro PCS, Monster headphones, and Buffalo David Bitton, among others.

The UFC women's bantamweight champion was the lone combat sports competitor to grace the list, breaking into the top-10 with estimated "salary, winnings, appearances, licensing and endorsements" earnings of $6.5 million from June 2014 to June 2015.

Tennis star Maria Sharapova topped Forbes' list, totaling earnings of $29.7 million. Rousey was one of just three non-tennis players to make it into the top-10, joining NASCAR driver Danica Patrick (No. 4) and golfer Stacy Lewis (No. 9).

Ronda bless.

It's important to keep in mind that this was before UFC 190, which has really sent her skyrocketing.

This is clearly untrue. Have you not heard that women are paid less for doing the same work and that UFC fighters barely get paid?
