Bb. Pilipinas Universe Maria Venus Raj.
While it is almost certain that pound-for-pound king and ?Fighter of the Decade? Manny Pacquiao?s next fight against Antonio Margarito won?t be in Las Vegas, a set of Pacquiao?s gloves will be at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino where Pacquiao usually stays when he?s got a fight in Las Vegas.
That?s because of the Miss Universe National Gift Auction for the benefit of the Nevada Cancer Institute on August 14 at which the Philippines candidate Maria Venus Raj will personally auction off the prized item from her home country just like the other 82 contestants in a show to be hosted y KSNV Channel 3 personality Alicia Jacobs and featuring current Miss Universe Stefania Fernandez.
The Miss Philippines winner will auction off the signed gloves along with a photo of the congressman representing the lone district of Sarangani signing the gloves as a form of authentication.
During her courtesy call on Pacquiao, the national sports hero told Maria Venus Raj "you must be confident. Just think you are in the Philippines. There are many of our countrymen there who will support you. I will call our friends who are there to help you."
The auction will be staged from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Palm Foyer on the 3rd Floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas with tickets priced at $100.
