Floyd Mayweather Jr. has extended another olive branch to Ronda Rousey.
The boxing legend put his past feud with the former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion to bed last week, when he told FightHype that she should "keep her head up" and that she was "still a true champion in our eyes."
Now, Money May says he would even be willing to help Rousey hone her boxing skills.
"I'll work with her if she's willing to work with me," he told TMZ Sports. "You know, I don't have anything against anyone. We're willing to work with her."
Rousey, a 2008 Olympic Bronze medalist in Judo, was the face of women's mixed martial arts. She dominated her competition, primarily using her signature arm bar, on her way to becoming the UFC champion and compiling a record of 12-0.

The wheels started to fall off when she followed the advice of her controversial coach, Edmond Tarverdyan, and began to box more in her matches.
She tried to box with Holly Holm and lost her belt via a devastating head kick knockout in round 2 at UFC 193 on November 15, 2015.
Following a yearlong layoff Rousey returned to the octagon December 30, 2016, to face current champion Amanda Nunes at UFC 207.
Once again Rousey tried to trade punches. Nunes made her look like an amateur by scoring a technical knockout in just 48 seconds of the first round.
At this point nobody knows what Rousey will do next. She's made a lot of money and could retire. But if she decides to keep fighting it would be a wise decision to let Mayweather take over as her boxing trainer or move to an established gym with better coaches and training partners.
