It’s official. Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather are fighting. May 2. 2015. Las Vegas. It’s happening. One of the most long-awaited fights in boxing history is really happening.
Which year is most excited for Mayweather vs. Pacquiao?
Just how long-awaited is the most long-awaited fight in boxing history?
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports
However, the fight is rather... well... long-awaited. As soon as the deal got announced, people expressed excitement, but also expressed their resentment that this fight didn’t happen five years ago. Or four years ago. Or six years ago?
So let’s find out: Which year is most excited about Mayweather-Pacquiao?
2007
I'd be more excited about this Pac-Man-Mayweather news is if it was approximately 2007 right now.

— Jonas Giæver (@CheGiaevara) February 20, 2015 Oh, boy! 2010 couldn't possibly be more excited! pic.twitter.com/4KHyM0AItf
— Logan Trent (@TheLoganTrent) February 20, 2015 Too bad its not 2010. Then I would be a lot more excited about this Floyd Mayweather/Manny Pacquiao fight. They're past there prime now
— Ryan Hoppe (@RMGHOPPE) February 20, 2015 If it was 2010 Id be excited about Mayweather v Pacquio the fight lost its shine long time ago
— Peter Gilmour (@Gillmeister80) February 20, 2015 Wish it would happen May 2010 but still excited for May 2nd
— Mauricio Puebla (@Mauipuebla5) February 20, 2015 "I'm super excited for Pacquiao-Mayweather!" Something 2010 me would've said.
— WHY IS IT THAT I (@myclue) February 20, 2015 I'd be excited for the #MayweatherPacquiao fight if it was still 2010 but it's not
— Michael Coleman (@MColeyColeman) February 20, 2015 If this were 2010, I'd be a lot more excited to see Mayweather/Pacquiao. That "superfight" has lost a lot of its appeal over the years.
— Kevin Hoffman (@KevHoffman) February 20, 2015 2011
So excited for Mayweather-Pacquiao Signed, 2011
— Andy Glockner (@AndyGlockner) February 20, 2015 I'd be way more excited for Mayweather-Pacquiao if this was 2011.
— Austin Peacock (@austinbpeacock) February 20, 2015 I would probably be more excited that Pacquiao and Mayweather are gonna finally fight if it were still 2011.
— Alejandro Rivera (@TheBigWilbowski) February 20, 2015 I'm not a boxing expert/big fan, but I would have been excited about Mayweather vs Pacquiao in 2011. In 2015? Not so much. Hope I'm wrong
— migeru (@migerucb) February 20, 2015 2012
Floyd/Pacman official, 2012 is excited.
— Supervillain. (@TheRockwell) February 20, 2015 if this was 2012, i would’ve been super excited about that fight. but i’m not, but I’m gonna watch anyways.
— Oga NLA. (@crackfriends) February 20, 2015 I'll take things I would've been excited about in 2012, Trebek. #MayweatherPacquiao
— Tyler Artley (@TJAakaTown) February 20, 2015 2030
I disagree with you all, Pacquiao/Mayweather needs another 15 years to reach peak ripeness
— SPENCER HALL (@edsbs) February 20, 2015 I think the winner is probably 2010, but nice showing from 2008 and 2009. Seems like we're between five and seven years too late.
Either way, Mayweather vs. Pacquiao! Still exciting!
