MANILA -- Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said he expects to make a formal announcement about the negotiations for the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight early next week.

“I met with Manny this morning… it was positive,” Arum said during the announcement of a tie up between Top Rank and ABS-CBN Broadcasting network Friday afternoon.

“You guys can interpret that anyway you want,” said Arum. “But you see a smile on my face so I'm not disappointed [with the Pacquiao meeting].”

The seasoned promoter said he will be leaving for the US on Sunday so that he can finalize all the arrangements with Mayweather’s camp to finally seal the deal and announce the mega-fight.

“Now my job is to go back to the United States, sit with Richard Schaefer (CEO of Golden Boy Promotions) and the Mayweather people… so that we can make an announcement in a short term,” said Arum.

“My goal is that we can make a preliminary announcement sometime next week,” he added.

A smile on Arum's face means truckloads of cash is coming his way

I wonder what the agreed purse split is.

It was certainly funny seeing the Floyd nuthuggers cry "OMG Pac is ducking my Lord Floyd" for a few days though.

You sound like the Cotto and Hattons fans trying to overhype Floyd... Pac fans are sick of hearing those words repeatedly..

Pac will make Floyd humble after the fight.

who cares?

as long as i get to see floyd dropped on his ass.

even if floyd ends up winning.

the $60 bucks for the ppv will be worth it when pacquiao drops him with a right hook he doesn't see.
