MAyweather Mosley does 1.4 mill homes (Likely to increase)

[InTheNeutralCorner]

Whats more impressive is that a fight with two american fighters did that many buys.

There was no "country vs country" behind the fight. There was no "national pride" at stake. It was two American fighters who more or less share the same type of crowd appeal which is the american public. That plus whatever crowd Mosley appeals to mayweather appeals to the bigger majority of it, so its actually very good. I can't think of the last time two american's really put on that big of a PPV fight. Maybe Tyson vs Spinks.

But if you look most of the biggest PPV fights, either was foreign vs foreign or American vs Foreign.

Like Oscar DLH vs Trinidad was Mexico vs Puerto Rico. Pacquiao vs Cotto, Phillipines vs Puerto Rico because they have large demographics to sale a fight on and many people.

But american's have so many boxing stars its very hard to solidify one or two and sale them to the same audience.

So the fact Shane and Floyd both did 1.4 mill is very impressive imo.

I would say Oscar dela Hoya vs Mayweather. Oscar is an American boxer of Mexican descent. A number of Mexicans that I know don't even consider him as Mexican.
