You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. Plus, it's a big day all round, right? Today, May 2nd, 2015. I forgot to celebrate May Day yesterday. Oh, well, maybe next year. We got the Kentucky Derby today, right? You get your little mint julep and wear the hat. For some reason, my wife loves that silly Kentucky Derby.

Always wants to go every year. I'm going to have to take her one here. So if you have a box at the derby and you're saying, boy, Jeff, we'd love to have you join us. Next year, it'd be fine. You can email me, jeffy, at glenbeck.com, J-E-F-F-F-Y at glenbeck.com, and, you know, I'll be happy to watch the race with you.

Let my wife wear some silly-looking hat for the day. I'll even wear a silly-looking hat for the day. And then you've got the big fight tonight, right? Mayweather Pockia? Oh, man. I actually, I don't want to spend the money, but I'd love to see the fight. It'll be fun to watch. These guys, think of this now.

They're saying $300 million. $300 million total. They're saying Mayweather is going to take home about $180,000. And Paco takes the rest. That's not a bad day's work. Now, I budget. They work out for months before. before they're fighting, then they have to get in a ring and fight it.

They have to be in such great shape. I know. I understand it takes more than just the one night to be a top boxer. I got it. Still, though. Still, though. Still. Are you willing to do what they do for $180 million?

I don't know. That's a tough gig, man. Get your head bashed in. I mean, it's a good joke. to say you get in the ring for, you know, 180 million, let some guy pound your face in. But my luck, I get in the ring. Mayweather decides he's just going to punch me around a little bit and not knock me out.

Round two. Oh, no. Please just knock me out. Just knock me out. Just knock me out. Round three. I mean, by the fourth row, you're dead. Yes, but he won $180 million.

That'd be great. Now, Mayweather, 47. Mayweather has not lost. He's the champ, baby. 47 and 0. Think about that. What world titles in five separate weight classes. Huh?

That's right. Now, he's, you know, I get, I got that, you know, he's, he's not a nice guy. Whoa, a boxer that's not a nice guy. Surprise me. And Pocchio's lost a few. Not much so. He's only lost, what, five fights, two ties? That's not bad.

And, you know, I really, I don't have any idea who could, you know, who may or may not win. You know, I don't know that I care. But it'd be nice to watch. I like watch boxing. I used to go to, they used to have boxing. good friend of mine. He still may be back doing some boxing, calling some ring announcing boxing.

He did boxing for HBO for a bunch of years. And Mark Beiro, a good friend of mine from Tampa, was a ring announcer forever in boxing. So we used to go to the boxing matches whenever they'd come to town, and Mark would be the ring announcer. And so, you know, you'd be sitting out of the – you get there early because Mark is in there. they announce the luminaries tonight, and Mark announces all the former, you know, the big-time,

the big-time people in the crowd, you know, he always get an announcement for Mark. And did you know that according to the ring announcer, that I am the former Golden Glove heavyweight champion from Saginaw, Michigan. Thank you. You get to stand up, give a little wave. The crowd gives you some applause. It's fantastic. I love watching boxing.

I mean, it's great. And you watch the fighters go back and forth. I mean, it's a, I know, I got, you know, it's violent. I know. I like it. Okay, two guys beating the crap out of each other. For real? Nobody's in trouble when they're getting paid for it.

Come on. Who doesn't like that? I mean, that's football, right? 22 guys on the field pounding each other. For real. Controlled rage. We love that in America. Love it.

So they're projecting 300 million purse. They're 72 million ticket revenue. It's $100, I think, to watch it on pay-per-view. It'd be worth it. You know, it'd be worth it if you could, you know, you had a little party and watch the fight. It'd be really fun. Now, anybody that is going to pay for it on pay-per-view

and then charge maybe 10 or 15, bucks on periscope so that I can watch it on periscope. Call me. Periscope's going to shut that down today to find that out. I've looked that up, see if Periscope's going to say, ah, no. You're not going to be doing that. It's pay-per-view. I bet you they, I bet you the pay-per-view, Pacchio and Mayweather people are on top of that.

A lot of money. And I don't think that they'd be opposed to someone periscoping it, but they're not getting the money. So maybe you send a percentage to them and say, hey guys, you know what, I periscope the fight and had, you know, 20 people. So instead of

$2,000, here's $200. Bye. Good luck. God bless. Probably not. Probably not. And then the other Kentucky, I mean, the Kentucky Derby, the horses. I really, I haven't followed

much of the horse racing this year. But I do love the idea of horse names. You know, the names of horses. And you know they've got some stupid, like, names, the horse names, you can't exceed 18 characters, including spaces. So you can't have super califragulous, X.B. Aladocious. It has to, it may not end in a horse-related term, such as Philly, stallion, mayor, black

stallion too easy. It may not have a name made entirely out of numbers. And any numbers over 30 have to be spelled out. And you can't use a racetrack

or one of the top tier races as an inspiration for your horse's name. Now we've all watched Secretariat, right? Great movie. Love it. And they what a hard, how they ended

up with getting secretariat because they, you know, they called the horse Big Red forever, but they wouldn't let them do Big Red for some reason. They didn't like it as part of their horse name rules and laws. So they ended up with, you know, secretary it. Secretariat. And that's, you know, that's how they got their name. Now, as I'm looking, reading about the horse race yesterday, I find. some audio, and we've all heard, you know, all had the, you know, the bad name, the foul-named

horses race called. You can find that audio anywhere. People calling horse races, and they're using the horse names as, you know, bad names. However, in real life, you know, we do have some horses named, you know, 50 shades of hay, FNX. and my two favorite. My wife knows everything, and the wife doesn't know. Now, of course, of course, I know he's getting ready to play it,

but I want to play this audio. This is the last half of the race from a couple of years ago, a few years ago. But these two horses, my wife knows everything, and the wife doesn't know are racing in the same race. This is the last half of this race. The half mile pole. Lady Mutata by a length and a half. Little Miss Macho is in second.

After that comes, my wife knows everything and third. On the far outside, the wife doesn't know is moving up, and it's now fourth and right alongside my wife knows everything. My wife knows everything, and the wife doesn't know, are moving together on the fire turn, and they're coming after Lady Mutata coming to the quarter pole. Come on, Mary. Lady Mutata in front.

Here come, my wife knows everything, and the wife doesn't know on the far outside. Oh, you're rooting for it. Moshos fourth are into the stretch. Lady Burtada, my wife knows everything. Center the track, the wife doesn't know. Into the final furlong. My wife knows everything.

The wife doesn't know. They're one, too. Of course they are. My wife knows everything in front. To the outside, the wife doesn't know. My wife knows everything. The wife doesn't know. My wife knows everything.

More than the wife doesn't know. Oh, no. My wife knows everything. more than the wife doesn't know. Yes, horse racing. Just like life. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
