That's a really good question. Maybe someone who lives in Mexico can enlighten us.

Always seemed to me that the best fighters in Mexico fight in the us because the Mexican American fan base is more nationalistic and will pay more to be reminded of Mexico than their Mexican relatives

Mexico does have it but in certain areas, since its big and diverse. The US hosts the Mexican boxing scene more.
