It seems Ronda Rousey, a UFC champion and the most dangerous person on the planet, understands economics, at least when it comes to the whole myth of equal pay for equal work and the gender pay gap myth.
Rousey, who is currently the highest paid fighter in UFC, was asked about gender pay by some Australian equal pay feminist. Rousey pretty much said what others have been writing and talking about for a long time: when you draw, you make the money; when you don’t draw, you don’t make the money (SEE: Women don’t get paid as much as men in sports because they don’t draw).
She said it best when she noted that Dana White isn’t paying her because she’s a woman. Instead, he’s paying her because she’s brings in the eyeballs, the viewers, the sponsors, the PPV buys and so on. (SEE: Interesting statistic: NBA players earn more than WNBA players)

This isn’t the first time that Rousey has shut down interviewers trying to make everything about gender pay. You can watch the interview below.
