Bob Arum, the head of Top Rank Promotions, is offering the Ultimate Fighting Championship, or UFC, women’s bantamweight champion a free ticket to watch the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao battle live this May.

The offer for free tickets for the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight was first reported by TMZ Sports, who interviewed Arum.

“I’ll get her [Ronda Rousey] a ticket, absolutely,” Arum said int TMZ video. “I’m sure she’s going to win the fight, but even if she doesn’t, she gets a ticket from me.”

Rousey recorded the fastest win in UFC history by beating rival Cat Zingano in just 14 seconds of the opening round last Saturday. Before her fight with Zingano, Rousey admitted that she’s interested in watching the Mayweather-Pacquiao bout live at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

“I gotta go beat Cat Zingano so I can make a couple million dollars and afford that ticket,” Rousey said pre-fight and now it looks like she won’t need to spend her own money after the Arum offer.

Rousey’s win put her among the superstars in the fight world and not just in mixed martial arts, or MMA. She is a friend of Pacquiao as seen in their communication on social media in recent months. Despite being one of the American stars in the sport, Mayweather has failed to give the MMA star her due recognition even saying in the past that he doesn’t know who Rousey is.

The 28 year old Rousey, who is Riverside, California, has declared publicly many times that she’s supporting Pacquiao in his fight against Mayweather in May. With the Arum offer, she can now cheer her friend up close and personal.

Rousey is the current women’s bantamweight champion in the UFC and is undefeated in eleven fights. Tickets for the Mayweather-Pacquiao bout is expected to be very expensive and only celebrities and A-list stars are said to have a chance in scoring the tickets. With Arum offering Rousey a freebie for the fight, Rousey is not just one of the best athletes in the world but also one of the lucky ones.
