MISS JAPAN LEADS THE BETTING ODDS IN LAS VEGAS TO WIN THE MISS UNIVERSE TITLE

Miss Japan Universe Ariana Miyamoto

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Miss Universe Pageant is not just a competition to select the most beautiful woman in the universe.  It is also the most sought-after venue for gamblers to bet on their choice of winner  for the pageant in the hopes of reaping multiple returns for their ‘investment.’

Miss Japan, Ariana Miyamoto, has been making headlines for being the first bi-racial contestant to win the crown in her country and securing the opportunity to represent Japan in the prestigious Miss Universe pageant.

Despite the mixed reaction about her winning the title from within and outside Japan, Miyamoto is leading the odds to be the next Miss Universe among the bettors and gamblers in Las Vegas.

The betting odds are making many countries really nervous about their candidates  — including countries that are considered to be perennial frontrunners in the annual contest, like Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and the Philippines.

Many other countries who have yet to choose their representative to the next Miss Universe Pageant are seriously considering sending a candidate who is bi-racial in order to be more competitive.

After all, the standard of  beauty is subjective. And mixed.

 

 

(VIDEO) ADOBO CHRONICLES EXCLUSIVE: PREVIEW OF PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER FIGHT

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – It’s been tagged  ‘The Fight Of The Century,’ considered to be of epic proportion like the ‘Thrilla in Manila’ between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.

Filipino Manny Pacquiao faces American Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas on May 2, 2015.

In an exclusive opportunity given only to The Adobo Chronicles,  both champion boxers allowed us to film their sparring session to give their fans and boxing afficionados  a preview of what to expect on May 2.

Here’s the exclusive video.

PACQUIAO AND MAYWEATHER WILL BOTH BE INJECTED WITH ANESTHETIC DRUG DURING MAY 2 FIGHT

1724522_1391292644467128_1219828704_nLAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – For a long time, Floyd Mayweather had accused Manny Pacquiao of using performance-enhancing drugs, making this his primary reason for not agreeing to fight the Filipino champion boxer in what many consider to be the “fight of the century.”

Now that the deal has been sealed for the two boxers to meet at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 2 this year, the same drug accusation has come around to haunt Mayweather.

It has been rumored that the American boxer injects his hands with a dubious substance called Xylocaine during training and bouts.  This substance, which has a numbing effect, is banned in most states, and the reason Mayweather only boxes in Nevada is that it is the only state where the anesthetic drug is not banned in sports.

Because it is not a banned substance in Las Vegas, the Pacquiao camp can do nothing about it.  Besides, the boxing deal has been signed, and there’s no backing out.

So, as a compromise, the Pacquiao camp has demanded that both boxers will be injected with Xylocaine on the night of the fight, to which the Mayweather camp readily agreed.

Boxing fans, rejoice.  The fight of the century is still on. And it’s fair and square! And clean (well, sort of).
