"I am a big-time fan of you."

"I am a big-time fan of you."

Have you ever heard of "a big-time fan"? I think "a big fan" is commonly used, but a big-time fan is not. If it is, what does it mean? What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual.

" I can imagine that it has been uttered casually often. 'Big-time' is more often an adverb: ' We lost the game big-time ' (= we really lost the game with a lot of mistakes or by a large spread in points).
