! Cockfight! Sari-Sari Store After basketball, I would consider cockfighting to be the second largest popular sport in the Philippines. In the country actually almost every family has at least a fighting cock, which is raised with love and trained over a certain age and over again. On many occasions, see also cocks dangling upside down from the handlebars of a motorcycle. In contrast to Hahn, is to provide for their young, the Gamecocks tied the most of their lives in one leg and have to fight from technical reasons, give up their comb. After good growth and extensive training is it then to a private cockfight or even to a "derby" in the next (subject occurs) Arena. Click to connect Cock fighters and their teams and a set number of roosters against each other. For example, with three taps, each of which Hahn denies a fight. Winner of the tournament, all teams that taps all three fights have won. Is there more, the prize money is shared.
Each rooster gets a very sharp blade attached to one leg and fought with this weapon more or less unconsciously his rivals. It has happened also that the two fighters to ignore the first several minutes and pick under the eyes of hundreds of spectators a few grains. Sooner or later, however, will discharge their winged aggression, leaving at least one victim. The key
however, is betting on every single fight. Here goes, or fly a lot of money and makes everything into a last "big deal" or even a science. After the audience could examine the taps in "to make warm," is introduced by a bell, the betting phase, and it starts a loud commotion in the betting, there are hand signals, use the same enemies. Sometimes the bets are also taught and it is probably often enough for whole months' wages. After the fight, the gambling debt paid, the sum in the form of paper money crumpled the winner will be thrown or passed.
is of course not every breeder and owner for the fight in the arena, but it is an industry with many participants. Allegedly cost the best "pure blood" fighting cocks along with pedigree up to 30,000 pesos or 500 €. Furthermore, not only special food available, but also a variety of substances that may be at the races and the Tour de France usually be used. The real added value for their cock-fighting is, however, probably mainly in the conversation and then into the soup ...
Here are a few pictures on the topic. However, as the pictures show, it is at this sport clearly a male domain ...
