I'm seeing what you mean Pride.
I guess it is difficult to say now how he would sell against a lesser draw because he isn't likely to fight one.
I would have definitely agreed with you up until the Baldomir fight - I don't think that fight did well but since the De La Hoya fight I think they've marketed him very well as being some sort of boxing god which gets people buying whether they like him or not.
Would be interesting to see if he went back to fighting a guy who was a bit of a no-name in the sport, whether the numbers would still be high.
