The problem with that though is he wants one final farewell fight in his hometown not to try and win a title.

You've always got a comment contrary to something I'm saying. No network is going to get behind him until he has paid his debt to society. So yea he can probably fight in Mexico. But for nowhere near as much money and not on any of the big networks. He's 36 years old a 2 year sanction is essentially his pink slip.
