Mayweather offers Gordon Ramsay ringside seats for post-fight meal

MANILA, Philippines – Floyd Mayweather’s highly-anticipated mega-fight against Manny Pacquiao is still far away, but the undefeated fighter already has plans in mind for what he would like to eat following the bout. 

Mayweather (47-0-0, 26 knockouts) recently offered high-profile chef Gordon Ramsay, the popular host of TV show Hell’s Kitchen, ringside tickets to his May 2 fight with Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Arena.  

In exchange for purchasing seats for Ramsay, which could be priced as high as $100,000, Mayweather would like the world-renowned chef to prepare him a post-fight mean at the Scotsman’s Restaurant at Caesars Palace Hotel.

“I can sort that out for him, not a problem. If Gordon wants ringside tickets, then Gordon has ringside tickets,” Mayweather said via World Boxing News.  

“All I want in return, after I win the fight, is to go a little way down the strip to his grill at Caesars Palace and have the best chef in the world cook me up chicken wings, a burger, and cheesecake.”

Floyd was specific, saying he wanted Gordon, and not one of his chefs, to be the one to prepare the meal. 

“I don’t mean one of his employees,” Mayweather said. “I want the best chef in the world cooking my post-fight dinner. That’s not much to ask for ringside tickets.”

Mayweather also said that he’s looking at a potential business partnership with Ramsay into the future once he branches out to the food business.

“If I open a restaurant I want it to be the best and to have that I got to have the best chef,” Mayweather said. “I am going to be speaking with Gordon Ramsay about becoming my business partner and us opening a restaurant. It would make sense for both of us.”
