Big-O notation deals with asymptotic behaviour as the variables approach infinity, so behaviour at 'small' values of m and n are irrelevant.
The problem is, however, that only m /or/ n could be small. Therefore, formalizing this intuition is somewhat more delicate than one would like it to be. E.g. see
