The Tourism Council of Mexico (CPTM) will pay $ 10 million for the transmission of two spots to promote the natural beauty of Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, as well as Mexico City during the fight between American boxer Floyd Mayweather and the Mexican Saúl "El Canelo" Alvarez.
Gerardo Yáñez, marketing director of CPTM, said that with the presence of Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit and Mexico City in the box function, a very strong impact on the U.S. market is expected.
He also noted that he will seek to attract, with these two one-minute commercials during the fight of September 14, more foreign tourists to learn about Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit.
"We will have two spots when the fight is on, plus there will be surprises at the weigh-in, at the press conferences and in the fight itself, to be held on September 14 in Las Vegas, Nevada," said Yáñez.
The marketing director of CPTM explained that they are always looking for major sporting events in the world, since with the fight Mexico will be positioned in the minds and eyes of one and a half billion viewers.

Mariana Juarez better known as the BARBIE within boxing, is presented for the first time here in Vallarta for the international fighting title, "Absoluto Super Mosca". In an exclusive interview for Vallarta Today she told us: "I'll do my best to capture that title, I will fight against a Thai, on this occasion with the name Buakew Onesongchalgym. It is a girl who has been in 17 fights, but we can't ever be overconfident because there are girls in Thailand and Japan with 8 or 9 fights here, but with many more in their own country. She must be an experienced girl, we are not going to be overconfident, we will prepare 100% to get the upper hand, we can't have any margin of error, we need to succeed. "When we asked her, how does she manage to practice this sport and continue being a feminine woman, she answered us: "Boxing is a tough sport, but we do not stop being women, and all that I have to do is train, but at the end I am a woman, in the end I have to look good. I think that all of us women are flirts, we all like to help ourselves a bit with makeup, so that we keep being ourselves and prove that not only because one looks like a hag, it is not really the opposite. " How do you manage to keep your feet on the ground with so much fame? "I think that I owe it to my parents, I was raised in a simple way, full of humility. In the end, my dad always says, we must be humble and simple because, having our feet on the ground is going to keep us from falling down or prevent us from tripping so Badly that we cannot get up. We must also be grateful to the people who support us, with life, with God, for everything that they have given us, because ultimately, we are sometimes up and sometimes down. " Please send a message to the girls who are interested in this sport. "Well the truth is that it is a very nice sport that has given me so much. I love this sport, but it is also a very demanding discipline where if you enter, you have to dedicate yourself to it 100%. I recommend it. Besides helping you to keep in shape, it helps you to defend yourself in any circumstance that presents itself. I send greetings to all my fans, I will be waiting for you this October 12th. You can not miss the fight, it will be a defense against a Thai, so we have to come out with our hand up, and I need your support, thank you.

Riviera Nayarit will seek to break the record of 2012 when this year, starting next October 9, the 2nd International Sport Fishing Tournament of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle takes place, according to information provided by the Sport Fishing Club of Tepic.

The tournament will take place between the 9th and the 13th of October of this year and it is the second one organized by this club in the Marina Riviera Nayarit, where it started on the right foot last year.

"Last year we began a new chapter on fishing tournaments of Banderas Bay. We managed to impose four records: the largest number of participants, the most catches in an event, the biggest Marlin and the biggest Sailfish.

"This year we had our event in San Blas, which had 63 participating boats and was a record for its more than 52 years of life. We have promised that in La Cruz we will have the same party atmosphere and camaraderie, with new weighing equipment, better logistics and many more things that we have achieved with the experience behind us", said Francisco Navarrete Buhaya, Managing Director of Fishing Tournaments of the Riviera Nayarit.

For now, Buhaya Navarrete said that 30 participating teams are already confirmed and he assured that with this number they are confident that they will break the attendance record again and meet the goal of registering 80 boats.

If this number was reached, the participating teams would add up to 415 fishermen - between 4-5 for each team, plus their families and friends, who will visit La Cruz from as far away as the United States, Acapulco, Monterrey, Manzanillo, Barra de Navidad, Puerto Vallarta and San Blas. This will result in a significant economic benefit for all the residents of the state.

"The Treasure of the Mexican Pacific", as the Riviera Nayarit is known, has one of the most attractive offers for the lovers of sport fishing. Sailfish, Goldfish, Tuna and Marlin of three different species, among others, can be found in this coast, diversity which ensures good fishing in any season. I invite you to register and visit our webpage www.clubdepescadeportivatepic.com and thus live the experience of big-time fishing in the Riviera Nayarit", said Navarrete Buhaya.

They are the Champions!

On Sunday August 18th at 6pm the streets of downtown Vallarta and the Malecon were filled with hundreds celebrating the victory of the famous American Football team, Banderas Bay Pirates (Piratas de la Bahia).  People from Colma, Manzanillo, Mazatlan, Tepic, Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay.

After a long wait, on Saturday three marlin were measured in their regulatory weight, but the first places of Friday conserved the lead and took the prizes, in the 7th Fishing Tournament of Marlin and Tuna of the Fishing Club of Banderas Bay

The afternoon of the second day of competition three new specimens of Marlin were presented to weigh-in at the amphitheater of Paradise Village, but the leaderboard did not change. This is because Juan Moll, aboard the boat 'Maverick' , presented a weevil of 117.400 kilograms which allowed him to stay in third place, despite that Luis Manuel Ocaranza, in 'El Matador', had registered one a little earlier of 115.600 that had supplanted Moll for a few minutes from the prize.
Also on the second day of competition the boat of the hosts, the Fishing Club of Bahia de Banderas, with Rodolfo Barcenas Escudero to the head, presented a 105.900 kilogram weevil to place in sixth position. In the two days of competition there was no catch of gold fish, tuna or sailfish in the regulatory weight, therefore the awards were deserted.

Then came the awards, but not before raffling many of the prizes among members of the registered fishing groups, which were attended by members of the board, led by Alberto Sánchez Cardenas.

When it was his turn to speak, he said that it was a good tournament, with few competitors but all in good spirits for participating in this tournament which gradually has been consolidated, especially thanks to the sponsors that help us.

On the subject of the lack of tuna, he said that it is probably due to the tuna vessels, which are very close to the coast and devour everything, but there are going to be talks with the Harbor to check the situation, as it is not certain. "Now we are going to prepare for the Fishing Tournament of Puerto Vallarta in November."

Vallarta Opina spoke with Esteban Torres Soto, captain of the team "Ana Maria", with over 20 years of experience, who narrated how it was that they pulled out the specimen that gave them the first place and how they barely got there in time for the weighing.

"It was up to the last minute. We had little time to get to the scale and we had to apply a little more pressure to the spool to be able to make it on time, but thank God we got there 3 minutes before closing time", he says with the satisfaction of a winner in the face.

Similarly he said that the marlin was captured in a place known as "the bank", which is located 46 nautical miles from the Marina of Nuevo Vallarta and was where most of the boats went, "there were a lot of dolphins who would not let us fish, we would complain because they would take the bait, but being stubborn we continued and at last we were lucky and we made it", he says while indulging in a drink from the sponsors.

The now famous "Tibi", also known as Esteban Torres, said that they have been fishing in most of the tournaments, or about 12 a year, but this year, due to external factors, this is just the first one, and they could no longer be in six. He said that they are going to the tournaments of Topolobampo, Mazatlan, Los Cabos, San Blas and in Puerto Vallarta he says that they have already won about 12 tournaments in the Marlin category and that they expect to take the one of this year.

It should be remembered that the team "Ana Maria" pulled a marlin of 262.500 kilograms, with a height of 3.49 meters, a billfish that was good enough to give them that coveted title during the 7th International Fishing Tournament of Tuna and Marlin of Banderas Bay, in Riviera Nayarit.

With mistakes from the referee in a pair of goals from the celestial team, Cruz Azul ended a winless decade against Guadalajara in the Blue stadium, beating them 3-1 yesterday in the afternoon in the middle of a downpour, the second in a row in this building.

The Ecuadorian Joao Rojas was the main figure of the Machine, scoring at the minutes 36 and 82 and Jerónimo Amione, defined the game at 84', while the goalkeeper Jesus Corona saved sung actions on the final stretch. Rafael Márquez Lugo tied for Chivas in the 50'.

Thus the celestial team cut the streak dating back to the Opening Tournament of 2003, which consisted of eight draws and two defeats and three games without a win in this tournament, totaling seven points and advancing to the eighth place overall. Meanwhile, the red and whites stopped at four units in the twelfth.

In a Blue stadium with greater support for the red and white frame, the game started at a slow pace, with no clear dominance and as time progressed they began to register arrivals of danger in both frames.

First there was an escape from Carlos Fierro on the left, who shot to the near post, where the goalkeeper Jose de Jesus Corona interrupted next to the right post.

The celestials answered with two corner shots, where the central defender won the ball thanks to his height. At the first shot he was blocked on the line by Abraham Coronado and on the second shot the goalkeeper Luis Ernesto Michel kept the ball to pressure Argentine striker Hugo Mariano Pavone, who worked hard as a winger.

Fierro reignited the thousands of fans of Chivas who attended the Blue stadium, when he finished off with a volley after another center of Coronado, but the goalkeeper was attentive to prevent the entry at the minute 27.

In a pass where Alejandro Castro surprised the defense of Chivas, Christian Giménez escaped through the right and on the entrance to the area, the ball was passed to the Ecuadorian Joao Robin Rojas, who advancing half a meter sent the sphere to the net for 1-0, at the 36th minute, as the goalkeeper Luis Ernesto Michel had been left out of action with the pass of Chaco .

Now with the rain as a guest to the game, in the 40th minute, Marco Fabian let go of the draw by sending his header through the top, when he came through the center of the frame of Corona, after an accurate service of Coronado from the right.

Chivas started the second half with pressure from the start and this, together with the ground that was slippery by rain, let him have a chance to match the cards, when Jesus Sanchez won a ball and put the service to the area where the Colombian defender Luis Amaranto Perea slipped and touched the ball with his hand to cause a penalty.

Rafael Márquez Lugo ran through the middle on the minute 50, while Corona dived to his left for the 1-1, which gave strength to Guadalajara.

Faced with a flood in the Blue stadium, both frames tried in the first place to not make mistakes and then to take advantage of the field conditions based on speed, but none took advantage of their options, while most of the fans remained in their places.

The shock was defined in the final stretch. Jerónimo Amione had seconds after entering the field when he put the service for the Ecuadorian Joao Rojas, who closed the clamp for 2-1, in the minute 82.

The third score of the Machine arrived a couple of minutes later, in a play where the linesman Juan Carlos Salinas raised his flag and Guadalajara stood there, the ball fell to Rojas, who now returned the ball so that Jerónimo Amione on the target area, only had to send it the visitor's goal, despite claims of the red an whites.

Guadalajara closed strong trying to offset the score, and there were three dangerous actions, but goalkeeper Corona blocked them. First a ball that Jair Pereira combed trying to reject and was close to own goal, but the keeper of the Tri kept away. Then a shot from Marquez Lugo went to the bottom, but the referee marked a foul on Corona, while it swerved to the right with a header from Miguel Sabah.

Roberto García Orozco, referee of the match and his assistants Marvin Torrentera and Juan Carlos Salinas, had an erratic afternoon, as their failures were reflected on the scoreboard.

In the celestial team the players that were booked were Gerardo Torrado (38) and the Argentinian Hugo Mariano Pavone (72), and in the red and white frame, Jesus Sanchez (82) and Kristian Alvarez (91).

Atlas ties with Pachuca

The Atlas foxes were about to lose at home to Pachuca, which scored through Fernando Cavanaghi at minute 61; by miracle, the red and black were saved with a goal from Matias Vuoso in the final stretch in the 93rd minute.
