Both MMA fighters Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor have had quasi feuds with Floyd Mayweather. Rousey mentioned his domestic violence issues and McGregor was upset that Mayweather used him as an example in his discussion about racism. Floyd however says he never said anything bad about either of them and the media twisted his words.

“I never once said anything negative about Ronda Rousey. Never! I never once said anything negative about Ronda Rousey. I never once said anything disrespectful about, I want to make sure I call his name right, Conor McGregor? Okay. I never said anything negative about them,”
“Now, I can wake up on the wrong side of the bed and not be happy that day because I’m not well rested. They can ask me a question about a male or a female, but if I’m not happy, I may say, ‘You know what? I don’t give a fuck about them.’ And then you know what the media is going to say? ‘Floyd said fuck them.’ When I basically said, ‘I don’t give a fuck about them,’ basically I’m saying, ‘I don’t even want to talk about them today. I just want to talk about me,’ but they’re going to take your words and twist it and put it out there the way that they want to put it out there. Remember, before it was Ronda Rousey. Then when she took an L, they moved her out the way and now they put someone else in her place,” Mayweather explained during a conversation with FightHype.com.
He added, “Like I said before, my beef has always been with other boxers, you know. If I was involved with MMA sports, then my beef would be with MMA guys, but I’m not involved in MMA sports. I don’t have no plans on getting involved as far as competing physically in MMA, but I do look forward to getting fighters and doing MMA fights in the future, and I’m talking about 2016.”
