Despite not having the best season in Mexican football, Cesar Ramos found it easy to go to the United States to referee an amateur game in exchange for a good amount of dollars. He participated in a tournament called Copa Mariachi, held in Atlanta (USA), where he received 80,000 pesos for an amateur match, an amount much higher than what he gets for a professional Liga MX match.
A professional Mexican referee has a fixed salary of 27,400 pesos, while a FIFA referee, like Cesar Ramos, receives 33,000 pesos. In addition to their annual salary, they get paid 38,000 pesos for each match refereed throughout the championship.
