Boxer Julio Cesar Chavez opening Mesa restaurant
Boxer Julio Cesar Chavez opening Mesa restaurant Nov. 10 Phoenix Business Journal - by Lynn Ducey Six-time world boxing champion and Mexican icon, Julio Cesar Chavez, is opening his own restaurant in Mesa. Called Julio César Chávez Campeones, the 30,000-square-foot boxing-themed restaurant and entertainment venue is slated to open Nov. 10. It will feature authentic Mexican food, a full sports bar, arcade games and a World Boxing Council Legends of Boxing Museum. The venue also has the Bud Light Doce Events Center. With a capacity of 1,700 people, the venue will be used for concerts, boxing matches, birthday parties and other community celebrations. Principals say the restaurant is geared toward boxing aficionados, the Hispanic community and tourists from across the country and Mexico. Chavez, his agent, Brian Weymouth, and Dan Wergin and Brian Day O’Connor are principals in the venture. Weymouth helped launch Alice Cooper’stown in downtown Phoenix with the rock star and he has worked with sports stars Randy Johnson, Mark Grace and Dan Majerle. Wergin has a background in the wind energy industry while O’ Connor is a veteran in the commercial real estate industry. The team has invested about $4.5 million in the project and has hired 80 people for the opening. Principals project revenue of at least $7 million in the restaurant’s first year. Chavez’s boxing career spanned 25 years. He went 90 straight fights without a loss and is ranked as one of ESPN’s 50 greatest boxers of all time. Chavez retired from professional boxing in 2005. His two sons, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Omar Chavez, also are boxers.
