Would have been bigger 5 years ago.

Former Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer, is not in agreement that Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao would have been a bigger match six years ago.

Back in 2009/2010, Schaefer and Top Rank were negotiating the Mayweather-Pacquiao showdown. Both sides were very close to a deal, but their negotiations fell apart after Pacquiao rejected Mayweather's demand for a random drug testing protocol.

Last month, a deal Mayweather-Pacquiao was finally reached and the entire sport was ecstatic.

There are some in the industry - promoters, managers, writers and fighters - who believe the fight would have been bigger if they would have staged it in 2009 or 2010.

Some of mannys fans make him look horrible, pac is an atg but his crazed fans just make u want to see him lose

Mr Nail meet Mr Head. Personally, until this who soap opera started, I was a huge Manny fan. Much bigger fan of Manny's than I was of Floyd. But now I root against Manny 90% due to his ****** fanbase and 10% because of the douchebags that make up his team.

They probably making more money for this fight now than back then

the hype they are building for this fight is enough to draw attention...i agree this fight is bigger than it could have been five years ago...i just hope that this fight will live up to its billing...i hope chickenfloyd-no-more will give the fans their money's worth by fighting toe-to-toe with pacquiao than running the whole night...
