Rousey won in just 14 seconds, but she won’t need to spend a dime of her fight purse to buy a ticket for Mayweather-Pacquiao.
That is because boxing promoter Bob Arum has gifted Rousey a free ticket to the fight.
According to the Daily Mail, Ronda Rousey will receive the ONLY free ticket to the event. Arum is a big fan of Rousey, so he wanted to show his support by giving her the prized ringside seat. As for who Rousey will be pulling for, the answer is Manny Pacquiao.
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao takes place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada and the two men are expected to split a $300 million purse.
Not a bad pay day for one night of work.
Rousey, meanwhile, will need to take a break from filming her new project, “Mile 22,” to attend the fight.
Once “Mile 22” is wrapped up, Rousey will return to the Octagon for her next title defense. The opponent for Ronda Rousey’s next title defense has yet to be determined.
