South America may not have all the proper facilities for hosting. Plus many of their countries may not have enough money to rent facilities. I dont think there are enough BIG modernized cities to hoast.

Because not all countries have the right temperatures and conditions for that particular sporting event. For example you can't have a snow boarding event in the middle of a really hot country because there would be no snow ,and the weather would simply not be right for the sporting event.
