What businesses does Julio César Chávez Jr., detained in Los Angeles, have?

Julio César Chávez Jr., recently arrested in Los Angeles and under investigation by U.S. authorities for alleged ties to the Sinaloa Cartel and immigration offenses, is also recognized for his entrepreneurial career. Although his public image focuses on boxing, Chávez Jr. has built a portfolio of brands and companies ranging from sporting goods to specialized services, many in collaboration with his father and his brother, Omar Chávez.

From a young age, Chávez Jr. was included as a shareholder in Chávez Carrasco, founded by his father in the 1990s. The firm operates in various sectors:

Hospitality

Gas stations

Supermarkets

Mechanical workshops

Car wash

Sale of vehicles and industrial and agricultural machinery

This participation demonstrates that it was already part of long-standing family investments.

Sporting goods and accessories with our own brands

Chávez Jr. applied to IMPI for the registration of several trademarks:

Julio César Chávez, to market clothing, footwear, and telecommunications services.

The Legend Continues and JC Chávez JR, which range from tennis shoes, sweatshirts, leggings, charro hats, swimsuits and regional.

In addition, it has a store where it sells caps, face masks and t-shirts with its logo.

Pro Eventos JC JR: organization and consulting

He founded Pro Eventos JC JR, dedicated to:

Organize sporting, cultural and artistic events.

Offer representation and consulting in human resources, accounting, marketing, finance and administrative processes.

Through Chávez Carrasco, he shares investments with Julio César Chávez (father) and Omar Chávez, which include real estate businesses, auto repair, gas stations and more.

He lives in California, where he purchased a ~$2.8 million MXN house in 2015 and collects luxury cars like a Lamborghini Aventador (~$360,000 USD) and exclusive watches from brands like Hublot (~$122,000 USD). He also owns a home gym and continues to operate his branded merchandise store.

Comparison with his father's business

His father, Julio César Chávez, built a diversified empire:

JC Chávez Boxing Studio Gyms (CDMX, Puebla, Querétaro, Santa Fe)

Rehabilitation clinics inspired by personal experience

Vitamins, supplements, drinks and sports products

Restaurants (“Champions”), tequila, gyms, wellness centers, and real estate in Mexico and the United States

Media appearances as an analyst on TV Azteca and ESPN, as well as commercials and biographical series.

Chávez Jr. has pursued a similar strategy focused on personal branding, sports, and lifestyle. His businesses revolve around sports and entertainment, including apparel and accessories, event planning, and marketing.

His arrest in the U.S. for fraudulent statements and alleged links to the cartel, which may have prompted the request based on his marriage, poses a risk of losing licenses, trademarks, and market access.

If deported or extradited to Mexico, he will face criminal proceedings that could affect his legal ability to run businesses or maintain brands.

Your brand, closely tied to your public and family image, will face a difficult time. While the legal process is ongoing, your business is likely to suffer:

Loss of trust of distributors and partners.

Obstacles to intellectual property.

Impact on the operation of Pro Eventos and its clothing line.

In short, although Julio César Chávez Jr. has diversified his income with sports brands, events, and consulting, his business future will depend largely on the outcome of the legal and immigration process. His projects, many in conjunction with his family, are in jeopardy at a time when reputation is everything.
