And you think he gets to keep all the gate money when he has two promoters that have to eat first?
A boxing fight is more than just a purse and live gate.
If the venue would generate more money than fighting in Las Vegas then why don't more fighters fight in Estadio Azteca? Why don't Chavez Jr and Canelo headline a fight in Mexico City if all that money is there? The fact is Canelo is a bigger star than JMM in Mexico.
Learn basic business... they can't charge the same ticket prices they do for a fight in Mexico like they do in Vegas. A lot of the tickets sold in Vegas for a big mega fight are comps given to fighters by their promoters or tickets given to the high rollers by the casinos. The live gate would have to be shared with Arum, Beltran, Mexico, etc.
How many people are going to be flying into Mexico from all over the world to see JMM fight someone like Bradley and Rios?
I am telling you this because I am friends with a few people who work at Golden Boy and they put me on the game of boxing.
One thing you forget to answer was who is actually going to pay the winning bid for a fight to take place in Mexico.
If fighting in Mexico was so lucrative then why doesn't Arum have Manny vs. Marquez in Mexico. He already said he wants the fight to happen in the US preferably in Las Vegas or Dallas. Why does he want the fight to take place in the US and not a country like Mexico or the Philippines? He gets to eat more off a fight in the US.
