How to move facebook like on Wordpress from one domain to another

Background

I have a domain, say www.foo.com. I host my Wordpress blog there. The posts I posted have a lot of facebook likes. Now I redirected www.foo.com to www.boo.com and closed the domain foo.com (on the server I just copied the files from foo.com to the boo.com folder. The database is the same for both.)

Problem

The problem I am facing is that facebook likes "Gone". How can I get my favorite facebook? Are these names associated with a domain name?

You cannot do this. Even if in your case this is a valid request, consider the meaning of this action. if it were possible, people could simply move their favorite pages from other pages, from applications and from websites ... to users who liked "foo.com" DIDNT , for example, "boo.com", the fact that the content exactly the same, just a coincidence. The user did not “like” this second URL, so you cannot “move” ...
Perhaps if you go to facebook (as a developer), they can help you, but there is no method that we can use (not Mark Zuckerberg).

You can do this with a 301 redirect, although its reliability is not 100%.

I held my rank of the points page, and I liked the facebook page when moving between www.foo.co.uk and www.foo.com. I completely redesigned and URL (although foo was the same). Facebook and google + and google page rank corresponded to 301 and attributed it to a new page. Having said that if your original site is closed, this could be a problem.
