I was thinking this too.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.
Mosley is a well known quantity now. He was hardly as well known back then.
This fight was B level and sold like it considering the hype created artificially by hbo.
1.2 is right. Anything else is a lie by GBP.Comment

You should do a bit of research on how popular Felix Sturm was in Germany before he fought Oscar, most of his fights were televised and he usually had a decent crowd, Universum (his promoters) done a great job with him.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.
He had a very good amatuer background, participated in the 2000 Sydney Olympics representing Germany but he lost to Jermain Taylor though.
Your comparing Felix Sturm's popularity to Carlos Baldomir Tua?
