Top UFC star Ronda Rousey took another shot at boxing’s pound-for-pound fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Rousey blasted Mayweather saying she makes twice or thrice more money per second than him before mocking the welterweight champion.

“I think I actually make 2-3 times more than he does per second. So when he learns to read and write, he can text me,” added Rousey, taking a swipe at Mayweather’s rumored illiteracy.
