Back in 2000, I first interviewed Albuquerque promoter Lenny Fresquez of Fresquez Productions at his office, I had only been covering boxing for about a year and had always heard how Fresquez didn’t care for the fighters. The word going around was that he paid them almost nothing to fight, that no major fighters in New Mexico would ever fight for him and there was plenty more going around Even I was starting to believe the talk, but in time and getting to know the business side of boxing, most fans or detractors don’t realize what really goes on behind the scenes in putting on a fight card. After all is said and done, Fresquez Productions is still the leader in the Southwest region of the United States, but with Golden Boy Promotions putting on more and more cards in El Paso, he may have some competition. On the other hand, Fresquez has shown time and time again that he may remain on top.
