The Big Boss World Tour was a concert tour by reggaeton singer Daddy Yankee to promote his album El Cartel: The Big Boss. This was his second arena tour in the United States and his first official world tour.[1] The tour started on August 24, 2007, at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico and was expected to end on December 8, 2007, in Cali's Estadio Pascual Guerrero.[2] However, due to the success of his soundtrack Talento de Barrio, more dates were added and the tour extended to 2008.[3][4][5]

In those markets, he would play both arenas and 30,000 to 40,000-capacity stadiums. Initial plans of the tour was to visited 15 countries and 40 cities in Latin America by the end of 2007. However, this plans wasn't materialized due unknown reasons.[5]
