Boxing fans hoped that the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather face to face meeting would wield some results but it looks like it didn’t do much because Manny is headed back to the Philippines.

It’s fair to assume that if the deal was near completion Manny would stay in the US for a press conference or some type of official announcement. Him choosing to head back to his home country can be taken as a sign that there’s still substantial work to be done between both sides.
On the flip side it could also mean that the fight negotiations are done and that Manny has gone back to begin training for the fight. Only time will tell.
I wonder if Vegas has an O/U set for the date of the announcement?
