Due to its popularity, Elías Ayub tried to contact him to offer him an educational scholarship and a business plan. However, the agreement never materialized, at Francisco's own discretion.

Although he became famous for his charisma selling empanadas on the beaches of Acapulco, Francisco Callejas—better known as "Paco, the Empanada Man "—went through a difficult adolescence marked by violence and the control of his stepfather, who demanded that he sell all his merchandise before returning home.

The same figure was the one who, years later, stopped the possibility of a business with businessman Arturo Elías Ayub, who, after the young man went viral in 2016, offered him a scholarship and the opportunity to sell his empanadas in Sanborns stores.

Although the project progressed to the contractual stage, the agreement fell through when the stepfather demanded that Francisco sign his name as "Francisco Orihuela," a surname that doesn't legally correspond to the young man, whose full name is Francisco Javier Callejas Ramírez. Given this irregularity, Elías Ayub opted not to continue the deal.

Despite what happened, 'Paco' maintains a good relationship with the businessman: "He was a very good person to me," he said in an interview for the Archie Comedy podcast.
