Although I agree with you on the whole testing issue, I have to respectfully inform you that FMJ is not the bigger "moneymaker" as you say. In the last 5 fights MP has outsold FMJ in PPVs by a few hundred-thousand, not counting the recent FMJ vs Cotto fight of course because the numbers are not out yet, and we still have to wait and see how the MP vs Bradley fight does. Not only has MP outsold FMJ in PPVs but he has also outsold him at the gate by a even wider margin.
1) may I ask why you you chose that criteria?
2) Please present the data. PPV sales and Gate rev.
Obviously the comparison is in poor taste but it does highlight the frankly bizarre attempt by Floyd to flog the dead horse that is drug testing again during the Cotto post-fight interview. Even as he was saying it, it felt like it came from another place and time, and even he didn't believe in what he was saying.
It's quite funny in a way.
(Floyd) "Take the test!"
(Manny) "OK"
"Take the best, if you're the best!"
"I'll take whatever tests he wants"
"I can't give up a 50/50 split, I can't afford to. Absolutely not".
"This guy wants to keep 100% of the revenue. I pray for him".
Whats funny is how everyone conveniently forgets that Bob Arum said even if May and Pac ageed on a split, that they couldn't fight on May 5th no matter what, it couldn't happen on May 5th no matter what.

About a two year gap in between certain quotes but why let facts get in the way of a good rant? You're on a roll.
