"Nevada Athletic Commission Voids Mayweather Win Over Pacquiao"
Origins: On 2 May 2015, eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao took on undefeated, five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in a long-awaited boxing match touted as "The Fight of the Century" at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Mayweather won the contest by a unanimous decision.

In voiding the fight results, Aguilar presented a laundry list of what went wrong:
"There's just too many missteps leading to and during the fight and we cannot sit here and just do nothing," Commission Chairman Francisco Aguilar told The Adobo Chronicles.
However, no agency with any authority in the world of boxing has voided the results of the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, and the entries offered in the "laundry list" of missteps ranges from the real to the frivolously fictional. That's because the Adobo Chronicles is another "satire" web site that publishes fake news, with the site's disclaimer noting that their material is a mix of fact and fiction:
Why the title, The Adobo Chronicles, you might ask? Well, adobo is the national dish of our home country. You see, adobo is usually made with pork or chicken, boiled and simmered in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce and other spices. When writing stories for this blog, we let the news sizzle and simmer in our mind in a mixture of fact and fiction, then we spice it up with figments of our imagination.
The Adobo Chronicles is your source of up-to-date, unbelievable news. Everything you read on this site is based on fact, except for the lies.
