Looks like Floyd was right

[deevel79]

If Cotto beats Margarito, he will be looked upon as THE champ of the WW division. There should be no excuses why Floyd wont fight him due to his lack of drawing power. Baldomir had ZERO drawing power, yet Floyd still fought him.

I really dont care for all this PPV to be honest but where are all the idiots that kept saying Mayweather has NO fans or Fanbase??? The facts are Mayweather has more fans than any other fighter expect for De la Hoya.

Who asked for stats? I merely stated that for the Floyd/Baldomir bout, the stadium was half empty, and people were walking out mid fight. Is that not true?

Floyd vs. Baldomir The Real Story...!!!



Floyd vs. No Name Fighter with no U.S exposure (T.V):

Floyd vs.Carlos Baldomir 325,000 buys = 16.3 Million (2nd P.P.V)

"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.

THE REAL POINT...

Floyd fighting a Nobody is almost the equivalent to any fight the 3rd Biggest Name in Boxing (Pacquaio) is fighting in and that is with Big Names

Floyd fighting a Nobody is almost the equivalent to

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
Bernard Hopkins vs. Jermain Taylor I 370,000 Buys

So Floyd did fight a nobody his name was Carlos Baldomir and that fight was almost the equivalent to any of the big fights in the past 10 years...and better than 1/5 of the most Highest Selling P.P.V EVER not including a HeavyWeight or Oscar..

Like I said Before Floyd fighting a A well-known name challenger Is better than anybody not name Oscar,Tyson, or Holyfield

Floyd Mayweather = 216.65 Million on 4.65 million Buys ( 5 Events)

Ok, so Floyd is a huge draw. So if he fights Cotto it will sell 500,000K at the very minimum.

If that's not enough, well too bad, there is no other possible opponent for floyd so he should stay retired if that's all he cares about. ODH is the only name bigger then floyd, that's a no go. Ricky hatton rematch would do well. Maybe pacquiao? Thats it. There simply are not any big names in boxing anymore, other then the names i just mentioned and maybe one or two other guys.

Fans/fanbase is different from Drawing power. Floyd has drawing power. The majority of people tuning in are doing so in hopes that he loses though. When is the last time u heard a pro-Floyd crowd during one of his fights?

Do people Leave Basketball Games in the 4th quarter when their team is beating the other team by 40 points to beat Traffic.?

Do people Leave Football games for the same Reason..?

those People who left that fight came right back for his next fight...
More important His next fight broke every record in boxing..

So what is your point..?

Floyd completely dominated and outclass Baldomir...Period That Fight Showed Everybody if Floyd wanted too, He could win every round because his defense is that good.. Floyd show everybody That night, what a boxer is.
Not a brawler,Not a Slugger, but a boxer...

Boxing is a chess match believe it or not...
and people who dont under stand the game, and make the wrong moves lose.


**** I am a die hard laker fan, and i will admit when we blew out the nuggets in the playoffs, I left in the 4th quarter to beat traffic.
