Rousey's first UFC fight had more publicity than a Mayweather or Pacquiao fight?

[Karatekakid]

So according to Rousey during the countdown to UFC 168 she says that her fight with Carmouche had more publicity than any Mayweather, Pacquiao, GSP, or Anderson fight. Man I really always felt kind of indifferent to Ronda. Like good for her and for WMMA, but for the love of god how delusional can one be? Just kind of annoying and I'm really not trying to bash her. I've just never been a fan of anyone that thinks their shit don't stink. I'm not a fan of Mayweather's personality, but damn watching him box is amazing. Same with the Diaz bros. I love their fighting style, but hate the bs they spew. Idk, hopefully once this fight is over she can go back to not talking so much shit.

Anywho she says it around the 5:05 mark in the countdown video here.

In that case, the buyrate is pretty pathetic then.

 

[Bahoosh]

LOL. Not even close to Mayweather or Pacquiou, she's talking shit.

 

[Stoupe]

She claims the media told her that. The MMA media guys bar a few don't even cover boxing so how would they know?

Mayweather made 100 mil or more in his last fight...

Wouldn't be surprised at all if she says she can ko mayweather next.

 

[nfp]

shes so delusional

 

[wallyboxngvsmma]

She bought that line..

 

[JAB2013]

I doubt Floyd or Pacquiao even know who Ronda Rousey is

 

[MaveDeltzer]

Where could she have got that info...

"No fighter has ever fought in the UFC that has had more attention than she has," White said. "It's a fact. Honestly, going into it, I didn't know that would happen. I didn't know HBO and Time magazine and all these other outlets that never cover us would."

Oh, I see.

Ronda Rousey is neck/neck with soccer.

 

[Bull Terrier]

Ronda Rousey is neck/neck with soccer.

That statement is correct for the moment, but after the fight tonight, she will most likely surpass it.

I don't bash wmma or Ronda, but I can only imagine the look on her face when that was said to her. Bought every second of it.
