MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – It is common knowledge that Canadian singer Justin Bieber is a solid Floyd Mayweather fan, always standing beside the boxer during the latter’s boxing fights, including Saturday’s bout with Manny Pacquiao.

But a TMZ video showing Bieber uttering the four-letter curse word when someone in the crowd screamed Pacquiao’s name might have been the final straw for the Filipinos.

The incident happened just hours before Saturday’s fight, as Bieber partied with a group of fans and supporters at his hotel in Las Vegas.

The Adobo Chronicles learned that Bieber has been permanently banned from visiting the Philippines, let alone holding a concert in Manila as part of the singer’s planned tour of Asian countries.

The Philippine ambassadors and consuls in the U.S. and Canada received a diplomatic memorandum from the Philippines’ Department of Foreign Affairs advising them to deny Bieber a tourist or any other non-immigrant visa to Pacquiao’s motherland.

Now Bieber knows that he can f*** Pacquiao but he cannot mess with the Filipinos.

TOP TEN REASONS THE PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER FIGHT WAS THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – It’s all hype, this ‘Fight of the Century’ billing for the Pacquiao-Mayweather match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Saturday night. It’s now the morning after, and people around the world are calling it the ‘Scam of the Century.’

Here are the top 10 reasons why:

  1. There were actually three, not two fighters: Pacquiao, Mayweather and Tecate. That’s why the national anthem of Mexico was also sung.
  2. It wasn’t a boxing match.  Rather,  it was hug and run.
  3. There were no swollen faces, cuts, bruises. And no blood. That’s a first.
  4. It’s all for show. Mayweather’s $25,000 mouthguard was studded in gold and diamonds.
  5. Pacquiao’s ‘Jesus’ t-shirt was sponsored by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.
  6. Justin Bieber looked even more like a fool next to Mayweather. So did late night show host Jimmy Kimmel marching into the ring behind Pacquiao.
  7. Paris Hilton was in the house.
  8. Pacquiao’s mom, Mommy D, was NOT in the house.
  9. Staff of The Adobo Chronicles paid $72 a piece, after taxes, for a front-row seat at Dave & Buster’s Sports Bar. We were’t even served Tecate beer, or San Miguel beer for that matter.
  10. It’s not about the money. Tell that to Pay-per-View, HBO, Showtime and MGM Grand. And oh, Pacquiao is now also called Money Pacquiao, and Mayweather, Much More Money Mayweather.

FLOYD MAYWEATHER IS A DUAL CITIZEN: U.S. AND MEXICO

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – There was one too many national anthems sung during Saturday’s boxing fight between Filipino Manny Pacquiao and American Floyd Mayweather.

In addition to the Philippine and American national anthems, the Mexican national anthem was also sung just before the boxers entered the ring.

The announcer said the Mexican National Anthem was being sung to commemorate Cinco De Mayo. Many speculated that it was a demand made by Tecate beer (brewed in Mexico), one of the fight’s major sponsors.

Well, an investigative reporting done by The Adobo Chronicles revealed that it was one of the conditions imposed upon by Mayweather when he signed the deal with the Pacquiao camp.

It turns out that Mayweather is a dual citizen — of the U.S. and Mexico. His Mexican connection explains his surname which pays tribute to the month of May, as in ‘Mayo’ in Spanish. As in Cinco de Mayo.

There will certainly be a lot of celebration going on with the Mayweather camp: a unanimous decision victory over Pacquiao, Cinco de Mayo and bottomless Tecate beer!
