Derek Ramsay meets Floyd Mayweather – Boxing News
Derek Ramsay, Filipino-British model, actor, host, and VJ, met American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. recently in Los Angeles in a hotel lobby. After the meeting, Ramsay opened up to the press. He commented on his meeting with Mayweather and said that even
though Floyd is a great guy, he still is a fan of Manny Pacquiao.
When asked about the meeting, Ramsay said, “At first he wasn't accommodating, but when he found out we were Filipino and that I knew Manny Pacquiao, then suddenly he was very accommodating. So, yeah I took a picture. I'm also a fan of his work. He has accomplished
a lot as well, but I'm still a Manny fan and I think Manny will beat him of ever the big fight happens."
Ramsay was in Los Angeles on Thursday night along with Miss Philippines 2010 Venus Raj. Both of them were there as special guest judges at the Miss Galaxy 2012 beauty pageant.
Ramsay’s stay in Los Angeles was short and he had to return. Commenting on his recent movie, Ramsay said, “I've always said that this project, 'Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang' is my favorite movie. It's like my baby. We worked on this two years ago and we just
finished it off about three, four weeks ago.” He further said that his movie is releasing on March 14 and he is excited about it.
Since Ramsay is a Filipino, it is expected of him to be a Manny Pacquiao fan. However, the surprising fact was that unlike most Filipino, he did not show any hatred towards Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather’s reoccurring racism attacks on Manny Pacquiao have
made him notorious worldwide and specially in the Philippines. With such a rapport, Mayweather did not really expect a Filipino to come up to him and greet him that well.
Floyd Mayweather is currently scheduled to face Miguel Cotto on May 5, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight has already gained much hype and both the fighters are now at their training camps to pump up for the fight. They recently finished the promotion
tour for the fight in which they came up with several comments and praises for each other.
