Isn't shane just money in the bank..

Wrong, JMM brings in Mexican fans, who are the last really big-spending group to spend money on boxing. Shane doesn't have a huge fanbase & he's not a major PPV star. JMM has a huge fanbase just by virtue of being the great Mexican fighter of the present time, & those fans are more likely to spend money on a PPV or going to a fight.

You could be right that JMM is bigger attraction than Sugar Shane Mosley right now but I think it's still highly debatable... Years back, JMM played 2nd or 3rd billing to the likes of warriors Erik Morales, Barrera and even Jorge Arce to the eyes of Mexican boxing fans coz JMM's play safe counterpunching style is not the usual Mexican brawling warrior style of boxing... In general, boxing fans love offensive brawlers as against defensive counterpunchers... JMM was even considered "can't draw flies" at one point... But since Mexican boxing idols were falling to the wayside one by one (Morales, Castillo, Barrera, Mijares, Margacheato, Arce, Angulo, etc.), JMM might be the #1 Mexican boxer right now in terms of fans popularity tho I think Chavez Jr. has a say about that...

Why do you feel the need to constantly harp on about JMM in such a cynical manner? What is it? Is it because you have trouble dealing with the fact that most of us think he has outboxed Manny over two fights?

I would say that the "play safe" style has done pretty well for him.

Stating JMM might be the most popular Mexican boxer right now and probably JMM more of a PPV attraction than Mosley... Is it an attack on JMM?? It's more like praises...
