Mayweather denies urging 50 Cent to make fun of Ronda Rousey

In the wake of UFC 193's massive women's bantamweight upset, there has been a sharp division of response towards Ronda Rousey via social media. Fighters, fans, celebrities, and athletes from outside the mixed martial arts community have weighed in either with support of the former champion, or to take potshots at her. Whether deserved or not, the backlash has been brutal.

One of the more interesting comments to emerge has been an Instagram post made by rap star 50 Cent, who stated that his barb was at the urging of longtime friend and iconic boxing champion, Floyd Mayweather.
