Was that a "lets get this sorted" handshake?

So the Pacquiao Mayweather superfight has been touted since Moses was in short pants, but after team Manny revealed in recent weeks that they had agreed to Mayweather's terms, it looks like we're close to seeing these two guys lace up and head into the ring. As luck would have it, the pair crossed paths in Miami last night, at the Heat v Bucks NBA game, and at half-time, Mayweather decided to walk over and chew the fat with Pacquiao. It didn't prove to be as heated as most fight fans would have hoped, with the pair exchanging a few pleasantries, before shaking hands and doing one of those awkward hug/arm around the back type things, and then heading back to their seats. Pacquiao revealed afterwards that the pair exchanged numbers, so could this be a sign that an agreement is close? Or are they just going to reslove their differences over the phone?
