Jose Ramos

Ramos purchased about $63,000,000 dollars in bonds for the Trinidads during Felix Jr.'s career. These were bought as an investment, but when Puerto Rico hit a financial crisis during the mid-2010s, their value dropped as Puerto Rican bonds ratings were reduced to junk status, causing the Trinidads to lose the money invested by Ramos.

Ramos became vital to Trinidad's first era as a boxer, becoming an important link between the Trinidads and promoter Don King. Ramos helped work deals for Félix Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya, Pernell Whitaker, Yori Boy Campas, Héctor Camacho and David Reid, among others. Ramos was in New York, New York, when the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks occurred; Trinidad was scheduled to fight Bernard Hopkins at the Madison Square Garden on September 15 of that year. The fight took place on September 29 instead, and Trinidad lost by a twelfth-round knockout.

Jose Ramos surfaced in the 1990s, after working as a salesman for Puerto Rican cookie brand Rovira Biscuits Corporation in the southern Puerto Rican city of Ponce, when he became famous in the boxing world as Félix Trinidad's career took off. Ramos, Trinidad and Félix Trinidad Sr. were united by a contract, and, in Ramos and Trinidad Jr.'s case, by friendship. Ramos and Trinidad Jr. met in 1991.

Jose Ramos (born 1965), aka Pepe Ramos, is a Puerto Rican boxing manager and salesman.
