Floyd vs. No Name Fighter with no U.S exposure (T.V):
Floyd vs.Carlos Baldomir 325,000 buys = 16.3 Million
"We're very pleased with Mayweather's PPV performance, especially given that Baldomir had little previous exposure in the US," HBO PPV's Mark Taffet said.
Baldomir's only previous U.S. exposure came in his January upset of Judah to win the welterweight title and his July knockout of Gatti in his first defense.
"These numbers are very reflective of the numbers generated by Oscar when he did not have the well-known name challenger in the other corner, which obviously speaks volumes of Floyd's star power," Goossen said.
Oscar vs. No Names with No U.S Exposure (T.V):
M.A. Gonzalez(1/97) 345,000 buys = $12.1 million
6 fights in the United States before the fight...
Felix Sturm (6/04) 380,000 buys = $19.0 million
This is after Oscar already had 3 Mega Fights over 925,000 P.P.V buys...
Trinidad, Fernando Vargas, Shane Mosley
This also after Oscar already had 4 fights of P.P.V over 550,000 P.P.V buys
Hector Camacho, Ike Quartey, J.C Chavez II, Shane Mosley,
So how do you do only 380,000 after all of that exposure in MEGA FIGHTS...?
And this is Oscar De La Hoya..... So that shows you how much ExposURe in the United States Affect P.P.V sales...

Floyd fighting a Nobody(Baldomir) is almost the equivalent to and better than
Shane Mosley vs. Fernando Vargas II 350,000 buys
Shane Mosley vs. Miguel Cotto 340,000 buys
Bernard Hopkins vs. Antonio Tarver 330,000 Buys
Bernard Hopkins vs. Winky Wright 305,000 Buys
Roy Jones Jr vs. Tarver I 302,000 PPV
Miguel Cotto vs. zab Judah 225,000 PPV
Miguel Cotto vs. Paulie Magg. 100,000 PPV buys
So please do put Mayweather/Baldomir into perspective....Before you diss..
Because when you look at the situtions and circumstances...
Oscar had the same kind of numbers vs. a fighter Like Baldomir with little previous exposure in the US...
Oscar vs. Felix Sturm (6/04) 380,000 buys
and that was after 3 mega superfights.....
So when you are trying look those numbers (Floyd vs. Baldomir) as a joke.....
The Question is Who Could of Had better P.P.V with Baldomir then Floyd did...???
