JHP holds the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico commercial‑rights package for the Benavidez vs. Zurdo bout, delivering the fight to licensed hospitality venues via multiple platforms: DIRECTV FOR BUSINESS, DISH, local cable providers, and through the Joe Hand Promotions app. This marks the fourth consecutive year that JHP has built a Cinco de Mayo‑weekend offerings around a major boxing attraction, capitalizing on one of the busiest weekends of the year for sports‑bar traffic.
