It’s arguably the best verbal fighting match after Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr., and this time Money is still included in the matchup.

Mayweather, who has this long-standing verbal feud against UFC champion Ronda Rousey, told FightHype.com that Rousey’s gracing of the cover of Ring Magazine is a blow to the sport which sees the publication as its undisputed bible.

“Well, you know, congratulations, but you know the sport is starting to look bad when a female fighter from a whole other sport is on the cover of a boxing book,” Mayweather said.

Rousey is on the cover of Ring Magazine for its January 2016 issue with the headline “She conquered MMA. Is boxing next?”

Mayweather also ripped Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions who acquired the publication eight years ago.

“You gotta realize this, we all know Oscar De La Hoya owns the Ring Magazine. That shows you; he has no fighters but Canelo [Alvarez]. Basically, it’s like he’s trying to steal her from Dana White,” Mayweather said.
