@mittenmuaythai: Jalill Barnes gives us a new perspective of Muay Thai in the stadium circuit in Thailand. Since we don’t speak the language we see the sport for face value. This is a unique perspective for a lot of Americans. Do you agree? July 10th Jalill Barnes fights on MMT 10 #muaythai #combatsports #martialarts #mittenmuaythai #fyp

sage :

Fighting Muay Thai in Thailand is obviously different than in the state. They even have a different scoring system in Thailand and gambling is such a big part of their culture. The more money you win people the more people are going to know your name and it is going to be to move up in Thailand

Bee :

This is why muay thai will never become big because everyone is all about respect and honor

Pinyo Tappasarndamro :

Every sport and every martial art involves gambling. Do you think the ticket sales alone sustain these businesses? There's a gambling industry at play in all of them, it's just not openly displayed ringside like in Muay Thai. Muay Thai is about fighting for yourself, developing yourself to surpass your opponent. I don't know what you expect from Muay Thai, or if you think you should try other fighting styles, then go ahead.

“It’s all about money” welcome to fighting bro 😂 your boss wants money, your coach wants money, your teammates want money, your promotion wants money, fighting is about money. It’s a sport but it’s a money sport where anything can happen, ofc betting is popular

abbahh1254 :

Maybe stop spitting in the ring 😂

ta_sanan :

ฟุตบอลมันก็แข่งเพื่อเงิน ฟุตบอลก็มีการพนัน กีฬาทุกชนิด มันมีเรื่องเงินทั้งนั้นแหละ ค่ายมวยก็ต้องใช้เงินดูแลคนในค่าย คุณไม่ใจระบบบริหารเอง

well no shit

bash🫆 :

Well no shit

เบี้ยว :

True, you will not see people like Conor McGregor here because we have so much respect for this sport. Everyone wants to see PFP no.1 fight each other like Buakaw VS Seanchai but for me it’s sad to watch them fight each other’s 😅😅

Fuckshit :

At the end of the day, fighters are just horses bet on by the rich
