Did you know it’s possible to eat more than 60 hot dogs in ten minutes? How about 144 boiled eggs in eight minutes? Emirates Man #8 introduces some truly insane gents who risk their health by taking part in competitive eating competitions. They take it so seriously they’re campaigning to get it recognised as an Olympic sport. While we could debate for hours whether stuffing your face with processed meat makes you an athlete (is it that different to a UAE brunch?), one person who’s a true sportsman is Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao. He took time out from his busy schedule to talk to this magazine before his ‘fight of the century’ with Floyd Mayweather on May 2 in Las Vegas. That’s two from #8 and the rest is
just as great. Enjoy the issue.
