MANILA, Philippines – Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao arrived back in Manila past 10 p.m. Saturday after a long vacation in the United States that saw him judge the Miss Universe pageant and come face-to-face with rival Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Asked about the progress of negotiations with the Mayweather camp, Pacquiao only said: "Malapit na i-announce 'yung fight, within this coming few days."

Pacquiao met Mayweather during an NBA game in Miami and the two fighters discussed a potential fight in an hour-long meeting at the Filipino boxer's hotel suite.

During his U.S. trip, Pacquiao also promoted his movie documentary, "Manny," and attended the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington DC.
