classic good guy vs bad guy..... it may be basic stuff but it sure sells. That's why Mayweather departing from the bad guy role in this fight is a mistake.

Signs that Mayweather is in trouble?

I doubt it plans on really making those numbers, but when it's all over, it can distract the general public by noting that they made bigger numbers than Top Rank's Pacquiao / Cotto event (if that actually happens). I think they believe they can do better than Top Rank, at least.
Edit: And make no mistake, it was Mayweather's antics playing the villain that pushed the PPVs to the limit with everybody wanting to see if he was either going to come through and win or get shut up and lose. Everybody else just had to go along as the silent heroes.

Quite the opposite, its the WAY he beats people (as well as who) on the world stage that make the casual fan(the fans who generate the huge PPV numbers) not want to watch him much less pay $50+ dollars to do it. Hes had plenty of chances to entertain fans inside the ring but instead chooses to pick on fighters he can dance around and get the decision.

It will be lucky to sell 400k and also the Mayweather vs Marquez card is going head to head with UFC 103. I think Dana White will have a big laugh if his mediocre event beats the Pretty Boy on this night. But I really hope boxing prevails on Sept 19.
