LAS 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).

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!’

PROMOTER BOB ARUM WILL NOT ALLOW MANNY PACQUIAO’S ENTRANCE SONG DURING MAY 2 FIGHT WITH MAYWEATHER

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – If you follow the boxing sport, you know the routine during a championship fight. The boxers approach the ring to the entrance music of their choice. Like, you know, the theme from the movie, “Rocky.”

For the May 2nd ‘Fight of the Century’ between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, the Filipino boxer, whose other passion is singing, has recorded his own entrance song. The music track titled ‘Lalaban Ako Para Sa Pilipino’ (I Will Fight for the Filipinos) was especially composed for Pacquiao and this fight by composer Lito Camo. The lyrics are in Tagalog, the Philippines’ national language.

Well, it looks like this is not going to happen.

Boxing promoter Bob Arum has decided not to allow Pacquiao to use his own recording as his entrance music. “Manny needs to understand that this is an international fight, not just a Filipino fight. We will have live and television audience from all over the world, and I won’t allow Manny to use an entrance music that only Filipinos would understand,” Arum said.

The promoter added that if Pacquiao can record an English version of the song, then he would allow it. The Pacquiao camp has not responded to Arum’s decision.

Meanwhile, Mayweather’s camp announced that their boxer’s entrance music will be sung live by no less than Canadian teenage idol Justin Bieber.
