    Let me help you blind fanboys on each side...

    This fight never happened in the past 5-6 years because BOTH fighters didn't want it. By not fighting eachother everyone argued about "PAC would kill mayweather" or "mayweather would box circles around PAC". It was a brilliant, each fighter had a sort of free promotion when anyone would bring up the other.

    Look at about any forum, social media site, sports broadcast... You couldn't say one name without the other. So during that period when they weren't fighting eachother both fighters were making bank against less dangerous opposition.

    Now assume they did fight in 2010... Do you think both would be getting 20-40 mil each fight or be able to sign the most lucrative sports contract? I sure in the hell don't. They waited until their numbers started to decline then made it happen. Mayweather is now only selling 750k-1m ppvs and PAC, well we know that story.
