• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is a special night, This night different than all other
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: nights on the show. It's the biggest night in overnight
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: sports radio this summer. It's the Mallard Palooza. So that
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: means that we're still doing the the Mallard monologues because
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: because they put that up on the YouTube channel and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Saga will kill me if we don't do those. So
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: just so he's recording this, so he's I told him,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I said, they're gonna be shorter. Do the monologues. I'll
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: do the Malard monologues. They're gonna be short. We have
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of acts. We promoted the hell out of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the Mallard Palooza and we've we've got a great turnout
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of people, a variety of shows, different performers that will
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: entertain us. We will introduce the Malapalooza. We will get
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the party started following the Mallard monologue. Just give heads up,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be a different night. You also will have
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a voice in this. Now I don't know how many
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: calls we're going to take just from RANDO callers. However,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: if you have an X account, you can give us
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: real time feedback on the X machine at Ben Mahler
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and we'll read your comments. So we will review the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: acts and really the goal here and we'll explain it
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: as we go through the Malard Palooza. But the goal
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: is to get in the top four. Because we will
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: have our winner based on the judges here and me
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: and lorraina coop and are Surprime Mystery Judge. We will
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: all vote and then in addition, we will have the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: voice of the people that will be you. And so
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the top four acts, as the turn by us, will
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: go up for a vote. And so if you're a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: podcast listener working the Dreaded day Shift, you will be
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: able to vote on that. So those are some of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the guidelines to get you set. But we begin with
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Malard monologue and our lead this hour from the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: name game, from the name of so over the weekend,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: just a random, sleepy July weekend, the President decided to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: spice things up a little bit here and enter the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: sporting world. And I don't know if you we're watching
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and paying attention, maybe not, got some headlines people freaking
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: out here. So President Donald Trump, if you saw this,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: he is threatening to hold up a new stadium which
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: is in the works for the NFL's Washington franchise, the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: team in Washington. The President sending out some comments on
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: social media if they do not restore the old name,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Hail to the Redskins, Hail to victim now. President Trump
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: also said over the weekend that he wants the Cleveland
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: baseball team to change his name back as well, to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: revert to the former name the Indians, which I know
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: will make Dick and Dayton very happy if they do
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: do that. He still calls him that, he said the President.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: There is a big clamoring for this as well. So
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: all let and of course people freaked out, like the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: sports media. Oh my god. All right, so let us
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: discuss the question, how do you evaluate President Donald Trump
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: calling on the Redskins and Indians' nicknames to return to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: pro sports. So on this one, I've got Tsunami and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Mendoza line and that's it, all right. So a I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: get a kick out of the media meltdown. So I'm
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: perusing the commentary and people are losing their fricking minds, right,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: some of the sports media people, some of these people,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I know, they're just losing their minds, right, They're clutching
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: their pearls. Oh my god, it's like it's like they
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: need one of those old school Victorian fainting couches. They're
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: so emotional by this. And here's why, all right, because
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: when you break it down unscientifically, right, when you break
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it down, and if you're actually honest about the story,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it was political. The reason those team names change was
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the political climate in America. The teams bowed down to
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the politics at the time they changed their names, names
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that had been around for a very long time. And
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: now it's political again, right, it's different politics, but it's
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: political again. President Trump daring suggesting to people it's changing
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the names back now. Now, Trump is he's tapping into
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: something here, the president that there's a lot of people
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that agree with him. A lot of it. In fact,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I've talked about is I have some boots on the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: ground in the Washington, DC area who've informed me the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Redskins or the Commanders have done market research for years.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: They changed the name, and they've asked like, what name
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: do you want? What name? You know, and overwhelming the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: people that actually buy tickets, the actual customers, have said Redskins,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: that's the name they want back. And so that you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: people don't bring that up and that's what they want.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And so they're like, hey, listen, the people that follow
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the team that actually pay for the tickets and buy
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the merchandise that's all overpriced, they're like, hey, we like this.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: We don't want to scrub this. We like this. This
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: is the name. And in the years, and I understand,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: we were in a period in like twenty twenty twenty
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: twenty one, like there was this weird period here in
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: America where we were rewriting history right there were you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: knocking down statues. It got rid of the Redskins name.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: The Indians name got swallowed up by the tsunami that
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: was taking place in America. You had owners of heritage
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: franchises right American institutions. We're told like these are these
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: are community trusts. These professional sports teams who were bending
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: down genuflecting faster than referee Trunt put the ball down
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: for Tom Brady back in the day when he was
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: playing for the Patriots. And so it was not because
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the fans the customers demanded that these names go away.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: That was not it at all. In fact, it was
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the opposite of that. It was because of some social
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: media mob that was out there that needed fresh meat
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and they're like, all right, just eat everything up. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: these professional sports leagues bowed down to that. But keep
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: in mind there were people that had backbone in sports
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that didn't do that. The Atlanta Braves. Major League Baseball
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: wanted the Braves to change their nickname because of the
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: political climate. The Atlanta Braves still exists. If it was
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: up to the mob, the Atlanta Braves would have gone away.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: You can go down the hockey team in Chicago, the Blackhawks.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: There were people there that I should change the name.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: In college, the Florida State Seminoles, there was a push
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you gotta get rid of the Seminoles. I don't care
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: if the Indian group supported. You got to get rid
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of it. You know, some liberal white people don't like it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: You got to get rid of it. So listen that
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the names are alive. Those names are alive today because
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: they had owners that had a backbone. Washington Redskins, Cleveland
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Indians did not have owners that have backbone. So now
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the president's calling out. Now the other part of that, like,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: if you were to say pasture, what are the chances
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: what are the chances that the commanders in the NFL
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and the Guardians in Major League Baseball were to actually
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: do the old switch orule and go back to the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: old name. I just go back to the old name.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It's not great. I'm not gonna sit here and tell
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you it's great. I don't think it is great because
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: they know, these teams know. It's just they got to
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: hold their ground because Trump's only gonna be president for
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: a few more years and then somebody else will be
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: in the White House. So they just have to ride
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the wave here. But it's not zero, Okay, it's not zero.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: The reason it's not zero the Washington Commanders what a
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: dumb name, and the Cleveland Guardians an equally dumb name.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: The current names, they've had those names since twenty twenty two.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So here we are in the summer of twenty twenty five.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Both have said they don't plan to change their name.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Of course, spoiler alert, spoiler. Both of them said for
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: years they were not going to change the name Indians
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and Redskins, So who cares what they say. They never
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: said they were gonna change the names in the first place.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: They did, but they said they weren't, and they finally,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you know, they broke down and changed the name. But
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna set the malarods on this at plus four hundred.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna set the malarods on this at plus four hundred.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: That is a two hundred hitter. That is the Mendoza line.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: That is the Mendoza line in baseball. Baseball player Mario Mendoza,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: So two hundred batting average, and if you look at
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the two hundred batting average, that sucks, right, that's terrible.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: That is the threshold for offensive futility allow in modern baseball.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: That's acceptable. In the old days it wasn't. But the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: name change, if you go from the Redskins and the Guardians,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: this is like the symbol of the outrage era that
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we were in, right, This is like they changed to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: these names, the Great Purge of sports mascots, which they
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: took those down, and also a bunch of high school
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: teams had to change their name and all this stuff colleges.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: But to replace the Commanders and the Guardians, those names,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: those replacement names right there terrible. They suck. I mean,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: there's so bad. It's like the bureaucrats got together and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: it's like some kind of dystopian sci fi thing. They
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: got together. We've got to get a committee together, because
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: everyone they needs a committee. We've got to have branding,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and how can we come up with a name. We'll
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: get a committee together and let's have some meetings. We'll
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: do some zoom meetings. It was twenty twenty, and it's
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: like the mascots were put together by the Department of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the Bland. How can it be the most bland possible nickname?
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And the Bland, I mean, it's so stupid, right, And
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: so they came up with Guardians, and they came up
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: with the Commanders, and they were selected. I am convinced.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: I was not in the room, but I am convinced,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: nonetheless that those nicknames were selected for one reason, and
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: one reason only to offend no one, right, their goal, well,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: we do not want to. We're gonna name the Cleveland
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: baseball team after a bridge. They named it after a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: bridge and the commanders. It sounds like some ripoff Gi
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Joe character or something like that. So in the process
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of trying not to offend anyone, which was the goal,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: they have managed to offend everyone. Right. Everyone's like, this
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: is so stupid. It's lifeless. There's no energy, there's no passion.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And the logos they came up with, I think I
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: could come up with that if you gave me AI
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: like you Chat, GPT or whatever, I could come up
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: with a logo like that. They're minimalists, they're forgettable logos.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Why would anyone buy merchandise for these team? I mean
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: it's the logos are just blah. If you can create
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: a better logo on your phone than a professional sports team,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: why would you buy that logo? It makes no sense.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: They're sanitized their shrink wrap. It's just they just blow uh.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: And it was like some kind of diversity inclusion marketing
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: division came up, but it is terrible. They're horrible, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: it's they've got a bout as much edge as a cracker,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: you know, like a gluten freak cracker. It's just nothing.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: There's just blah blah blah blah blah. And then to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: compound the issue, right, you compound the issue, you get
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: rid of names that had a legacy, that had a following,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: that had tradition, all stuff, and the new name and
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you combine the name and the logo and it's like
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: plain oatmeal, is what it is.
• 12:29

• 15:34
  Speaker 1: with boxing and fighting for the first time in nearly
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: four years. I believe the forty six year old Manny

  Speaker 1: Pacquiao pac Man. He was there against a thirty year
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: old Mario Barrios. Fought in Vegas over the weekend. Pacquio

  Speaker 1: fought to a majority draw. Now, if you did not
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: watch this, you might not have checked it out. Over
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the weekend stuff going on. As always in boxing, there
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: has to be some outrage, there has to be some controversy,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: or it's not really boxing, it's something else. And so
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: we had that. Now, the judges scored the welterweight about
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: one fifteen one thirteen in favor of Burios. Then the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: other judges scored it one fourteen one fourteen in a draw,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and so as a result, Burios was able to keep
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: his welterweight title, even though two of the judges said
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the fight was dead. Even the crowd booed. It was
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: a Pacquiao crowd. He's the star. Whenever he fights, it's
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: a paquiow. I've been to one of his fights before.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: He called it a wonderful fight. Afterwards, it was said
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to be an inspired performance. The boxing community said, Paqiao
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: fighting against someone sixteen years younger than he was. So
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: let us discuss the question is what did you think
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: of Manny Pacquiao and his return to the ring. So
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I've got late night TV commercial and kats is Delhi
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and we will combine these things together and we're gonna
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: make the gul We're gonna make the gobaool. So number
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I said number one. Now I'm gonna put all these
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: things here, and uh, you know the the commercial, the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Deli put these things together. But this is the headline
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: on This is like a deja vu situation wrapped in
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: hand wraps. Uh. And that's the great thing about boxing,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: right there's people watch a fight and as long as
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: it's not a knockout, everyone's got a different opinion on
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: what they're watching, depending on their bias, who they like
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: going into the fight, who they side with. So Manny
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Pacquiao fights to a draw. And uh. And because one
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: judge out of the three said, well, no, Pacquiel did
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: not win the fight by the finniest of margins. He
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: does not get the get the belot. But but it
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: was more like a curtain call, right of a Vaudvillian act.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Yet again, they're in Vegas on a fight weekend. There
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the flickering of the neon the casino ballroom off in
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the distance, and it's Pacquiao, Like what is he doing?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: These boxers have to keep coming back like this is
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: like a real fight. A lot of these guys come
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: back and they do these exhibition fights and all that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: But Pacquie, how the pugilist from the Philippines, the politician
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: from the Philippines and all that, the patriot saint of
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the Islands of the Philippines. And he's out there dancing around.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And there were there were moments watching watching the fight
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: where it was like Fredi's stare out there moving around,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: the movements and all that stuff, and uh throwing throwing haymakers.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: For his size, everything's relative, uh, But they was not
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: the entire fight, right, This is not the Pacquiao of yesteryear,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: nor did you expect it to be the Pacquiao of yesteryear.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: And people side with him because of the career that
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: he had, and that's it. I mean, it's not so
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: much people say it's like, well, it's a comeback for
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: many packet, but it's more I looked at it like this.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: It's like those late night TV commercials that used to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: be very popular. I think there's still on those. You
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: can buy that commemorative plate. You know, well, I don't
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: really need a commemorative plate. It's just gonna collect dust.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And but you get a certificate of authenticity, so you
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: buy it. You know, in five monthly payments, you can
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: get some plate that's worth nothing because they made a
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: gazillion of them, but you do it. And so the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Pacqui How fight, it's like it just vibes like it's
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: some kind of commemorative plate from the glory days of
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Manny pacquiaw. And you know, it's the old boxing move
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: where it's like, okay, you wheel out the legend, you
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: throw them into the ring. You get some pay per
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: view buys on that, you get some TV audience, you
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: cash in on what nostalgia with a capital end. It's
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: all about nostalgia, and you pray that the old boxer
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: does not need to leave the ring in an ambulance.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: You're like, no stretchers, And it's kind of like the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: old music acts, and you know a band has jumped
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the Shark. And I see this all the time with
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: my wife when we're driving around and there's a band
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that's performing at an Indian casino. That is the career arc. Right,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: you're famous, you're top the charts in music, and then
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: at some point you cross over and you're prepere. You're
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: appearing in front of a couple hundred people who are
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: degenerate gamblers who they give free tickets to at a casino.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like that, right, And so you look
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: at this and a lot of these guys and this
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: is this is been going on my entire light before.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I was like Muhammad Ali, he kept boxing until his
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: brain was mashed potatoes. Unfortunate Sugar Ray Leonard kept going.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Mike Tyson helped. Tyson's done some of these sham exhibition fights,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: these money grabbed I will give Pakiao credit because he
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: didn't do that. This is like a real legit fight
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and all that, and so good for many pakiaw And
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: he's not completely washed from what I saw, certainly not
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: vintage Manipaci how And it's kind of like that poster
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: that's kind of fading away, that old poster on the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: wall there in the sun and you still see the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: image of what paquiaw was and he's not punching through
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: walls anymore. Although according to the nerds, the Manipaccio stat
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: statuet said he landed more power punches body blow, body blow, buddy,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: but he landed more of those than his opponent, and
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: so that's that's good. You know, it's hey, that's pretty impressive,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and usually if you land more of those power punches
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: you end up generally winning the fight. But in this
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: case it was a draw, but the power punches did
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: go to many Pacia, so light that one up light
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a cigar for Mannipaccio in that regard, not page two.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: So who does Manipakio fight next? Who's next for many
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Pakio after this fight, which was a draw decision went
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to Barrios and all that stuff. So on this one,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the answer is whoever Manipacquio wants to fight, That's the answer.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: That's it, period. Stop The reason if you pay attention
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to the boxing game, you and I both know if
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you pay attention to this, it's kind of like going
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to Katz's Deli in Manhattan and when you're going this
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: placement around it's the eighteen eighties. Right, you go in
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: there and they hand you a meal ticket, and if
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: you lose it, you got to pay a ridiculous amount
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: of money. So you have to go to every station,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: get your postami sandwich, your mosketball soup, your fries, and
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: they write on the meal ticket, what's there. Manipakio is
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the meal ticket. In this equation, Manipacio is the meal ticket. Right,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: he is the if you're the promoter, he's the golden goose.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: He's the golden goose. Someone who's just name a you
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: know how much money. There's apparently a lot of rich people,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: or enough rich people in the Philippines that will travel in,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: people that have gained great wealth and throw their money
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: around at casinos in Vegas if Pakiao is there. And
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: so even at his advanced age in sport, Manny Paci,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: how he's still the drawing card. And so that's the answer.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: With all due respect to Mario Barrios, no one's really
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: paying big money to watch him fight, and he knows that, right.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: So it's supposed he's gonna be a rematch at the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: MGM Grand there and lost wages Nevada and the arena
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: was packed, and we'll see what the you know, the
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: television numbers were, but it's really the daily double right
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: with Paki how it's not only the arena attendance, but
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: it's also the pay per views and the television audience
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff.
