Sherdog is part of the problem, but the greater media is 10x worse.
Recent headlines have quoted Floyd as saying as follows with respect to Rousey: "Make $300 million in 36 minutes, then call me." See: http://mmajunkie.com/2015/08/maywea...y-make-300-million-in-36-minutes-then-call-me

Umm... you know a while back I never knew who Ronda Rousey was, so I'm pretty sure she got upset.
I want to say congratulations to Ronda Rousey and the UFC. You guys have done a tremendous job. I've won probably 6 or 7 ESPY's for fighter of the year, and I truly believe she deserves it. Congratulations to Ronda Rousey.

Umm... I'll just say that I've yet to see any MMA fighter or other boxer make over $300 million in 36 minutes. When she can do that, give me a call.
