Why did Lucifer interfere with Mammon crossing over?
Why did Lucifer care about Mammon crossing over from Hell to the real world? Before coming up to drag John (literally) to Hell, he makes a detour and sends his son back to presumably prevent Hell on earth. Why would the master of Hell not want to expand his domain?

If you are the ruler of some world, would you want your subordinates to start their own empire somewhere else without you telling them to?

From the script
MIDNITE
Mammon has been trying to climb
out of his father's shadow for
eons.
JOHN
And this time he might just make
it.
MIDNITE
(unconvinced)
Because he's got the Spear?
JOHN
And the bridge.
And later...
JOHN
... so how's your son?
SATAN
And why would that matter to you?
JOHN
... he's topside...
SATAN
I know.
JOHN
With Gabriel.
SATAN
Your point?
JOHN
He's helping your son create his
own Hell on Earth...
SATAN
Well, boys will be boys...
JOHN
He has the Spear of Destiny.
Satan didn't know that. Now he's concerned. He studies
this dying man.
It's not really clearly spelled out, but it seems as though Satan's pride won't let him have anyone outdoing him or anyone else creating hell on Earth - not even his own son.

When Angela Dodson visits Constantine in his home, then leaves and Constantine follows her (approximately 36 minutes into the movie), he says the following:
Constantine What if I told you that God and the Devil made a wager? A kind of standing bet for the souls of all mankind
Dodson I'd tell you to stay on your meds
Constantine Humor me. No direct contact with humans, that would be the rule. Just influence, see who would win.
Dodson Okay, I'm humoring you. Why?
Constantine Who knows? Maybe just for the fun of it, no telling.
When Lucifer comes along later on and saves Dodson from Gabriel, he says
Lucifer This world is mine, in time.
So two reasons here: He wants to win his bet with God, and he wants to stop Mammon from taking over the world, which he considers to be his.

He told his son Mammon before he sent him back that all the souls on earth will be his "in time"; if he allowed him to make hell on earth that would prevent any new souls in hell ...
