MAYWEATHER TRAINING VIDEO LEAKED, STRATEGY AGAINST PACQUIAO REVEALED

imageLAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Manny Pacquiao camp has been very transparent about the Filipino boxer’s training sessions, many of which have been open to the public, especially to adoring Filipino fans in Los Angeles.  But it seems the Floyd Mayweather camp has been very secretive about the American boxer’s training activities.

Until now.

The Adobo Chronicles has gotten hold of a Mayweather training video that appears to reveal the boxer’s strategy when he faces Pacquiao on May 2nd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

We now share with our viewers and followers the leaked video (warning: the video contains scenes that may be too graphic for some).

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – America’s major league welcomes two Filipinos this week as the Philadelphia Eagles sign football quarterback Tim Tebow and the Golden State Warriors recruit boxer and basketball playing coach Manny Pacquiao.

Tebow is Filipino by birth, having been born in the Philippines to American missionary parents. He hasn’t played in the NFL since he was with the New York Jets in 2012. He was released by the New England Patriots before the 2013 season and spent last year working in television as an analyst for the SEC Network and ESPN. Despite being out of the league, the 27-year-old Tebow remained one of the most popular players around. He has a legion of fans who follow him because of his strong Christian beliefs.

The Golden State Warriors’ announcement today ends months of speculation on whether the NBA team was eyeing Pacquiao after he was seen in a practice session with the Warriors in San Francisco last August.  The boxer is a playing coach in the Philippine Basketball Association, the counterpart of NBA.

Pacquiao is scheduled to fight Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas on May 2. Win or lose, Pacquiao is secured a spot with the Warriors.

Pacquiao, a member of Philippine Congress, previously announced his intention to run for president of his country, but the minimum age qualification for president is 40. He is 36 and not eligible to run in 2016. This gives him at least 6 years to play in the NBA before the next Philippine presidential elections in 2022.

Like Tebow, Pacquiao is a devout Christian.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – As far as Filipinos are concerned, blood is thicker than water. Between Manny Pacquiao and Justin Bieber, they’d choose Pacquiao.

The 21-year-old teenage idol is undoubtedly one of the most followed celebrities on social media. As of latest count, Bieber has over 77 Million Facebook fans, more than 61 Million and close to 24 Million Twitter and Instagram followers, respectively.

But all that is changing. The numbers are rapidly going down, thanks to Filipino fans who are unfollowing Bieber by the millions. (The Philippines has a population of 100 Million.)

Since the announcement early this year that Pacquiao will face American Floyd Mayweather in what is being billed ‘The Fight of the Century’ at MGM Grand Las Vegas on May 2, Filipino Bieber fans have, in no uncertain terms, made known their support for their countryman while angrily criticizing Bieber for openly rooting for Mayweather.

Bieber has always been a Mayweather fan, standing beside the undefeated champion during his boxing matches and even hanging out with the boxer off the ring. Bieber is also reportedly singing Mayweather’s entrance music live during the May 2nd bout.

Well, the Filipinos aren’t happy and are bidding The Bieb ‘buh-bye!’
