There's big news coming on Mayweather v Pacquiao later this month

“I think it will happen,” says Manny Pacquiao as he promises announcement in the next few weeks.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR’S highly anticipated fight against Manny Pacquiao is expected to be announced before the end of January.

The dream match-up between undefeated American Mayweather and eight-division world champion Pacquiao was first mooted several years ago.

And it appears set to finally go ahead, if Pacquiao is to be believed.

“We will make an announcement before the end of the month. I think it will happen,” Pacquiao told the Manila Standard.

A 2 May bout in Las Vegas appears the most likely.

Reports suggest the venue has been agreed, while there is apparently still disagreement over the split of the purse.

    Good man Matt, he’s had a horrible past year but been a real professional about the whole thing.

    @Bert Carolan: probably not all that bad, had a bit of an adventure in London, got a bit of sun in Spain, probably made a right few bob and now back again and scoring a few goals tonight.
