Bradley is Shane Mosley (not a knock on him or Shane because they are cool dudes.... this is in terms of predicting PPV success), who was never a successful A side despite having speed and power to spare and defeating Oscar. Example: Shane Mosley-David Estrada & Antonio Margarito-Kermit Cintron I: 225K; Marco Antonio Barrera-Robbie Peden & Shane Mosley-Jose Luis Cruz: 110K; also note the attendance to the fights after Oscar I, where he's the A-side.
JMM is the wildcard, if he's able to intrigue his US Mexican fanbase to support him after the Pacquiao KO, the PPV will have more success than I predict. Until then, without counting his fights involving Mayweather or Pacquiao, he's sold under 225K and that was against Marco Antonio Barrera; Diaz II and Casamyor sold under that and this was after 2 FOTY candidates against Pacquiao.
I would prefer to be wrong because JMM and Bradley are 2 stand up guys that will make for an excellent matchup. That said, I think Broner's going to sell just as much if not more than them.
