Mosley has never been a big draw, Oscar's fight with a past prime Pernell Whitaker did more PPV Buys than Oscar's first fight with Shane Mosley.
What we all know is Cotto is atleast two times the draw Shane Mosley is and Pacquiao is atleast four times the draw Shane Mosley is, and Cotto and Pacquiao generated 1.25 million homes.
So if Mosley-Mayweather does anything similar or more, it will be impressive.
Floyd fought a Mosley who had 10 years of post-DLH win exposure. DLH did those numbers when Shane was an unknown. There werent half as many people with digital cable/dish/satelite and half of boxing fans had a black box. Not syaing this fights numbers wont go up I expect 1.5 mill+ but lets get things straight.
DLH also did 380K Buys against Felix Sturm in 2004...
Floyd did 325K against Carlos Baldomir in 2006, and that was when he wasn't the mega star he is right now.
I can tell you that Felix Sturm is/was more popular than Carlos Baldomir ever was.
no one knew who the fuck sturm was at the time delahoya fought him.
that was his FIRST fight ever outside of germany. i don't even think he was ever televised on hbo or showtime before the delahoya fight. i don't remember ever seeing him before the delahoya fight.
baldomir had a fight with gatti and judah before fighting floyd.
