[tomcatChannel]

[robinhood48]

How terrible!

Boys behaving like boys, how terrible!

They should play with puppets and wear funny robes!

[Ozrender]

man what a biased news report

[wasantube]

This culture produced Buakaw.

[flupoop]

[The1stPoster]

Why FIGHTING for money?

Play poker for money don't fight

[MrMilesmert]

if they want to do it then why not?

[goldwarrior18]

how is this bad? since i was 11 years old i have been fighting in an underground league for money.

[jmpmcd]

and the children of wandsworth , and tottenham, and salford ,and rochdale, and all the other poverty stricken areas of england, they just fight for the hell of it.if these kids were at a boxing club in sheffield or leeds, no one would bat an eyelid. as for the gambling...well we live in a society which promotes wealth....and when people gamble ,some people get wealth.

[KiNGxHaVoCx]

well damnit do i bet online or do i have to go there? and this is not bad at all. my dad used to make me and my brother fight when we had arguments and we didnt wear gloves and had to go until one of us bled.

[Downfacingdog]

Nanny News.

[fight2Bfree]

"the kids see it as a route out of poverty" HUH? What a stupid fucking comment. These kids are in there doing this because some idiot ADULT told them to. Not because "they see it as a route out of poverty" 

[ArthurWellesleyKG]

Rule one of muay thai club, you don't talk about muay thai club

[DoeBoi2525]

why don't you report on european pedophiles who comes to thailand for little boys? huh?

[arealdoozey]

better to know how to fight, than not knowing how to fight

[ktchong]

Republicans, libertarians and conservative support this. After all, we have to teach work ethnic to children when they are still young.

[TheChristChris]

\\they're trying to find the next Sagat.

[artilleryboy1]

I thought they were hugging. Nah this is pretty sad. Maybe if they were in their teens and had proper safety equipment then it could be a fair and safe match, But that will never happen. And that policeman organising the fight. Fight club is legal there then.

[salor99999]

And no one else care.

[novan3]

who won that fight

[cactuskelly]

@novan3 damn i was just about to ask that

[happy51593]

no puns then?

[egzeq]

up there you can swap a baby for an ipod

[hobo59]

video was too short, I wanted to watch more !

[topjonn]

There is a lot worse things that happen out there

[bullethead2202]

@topjonn Just because there are worse things doesn't make this acceptable.

[YearningForHonesty]

I saw this documentary where 4 year olds were fighting for money in Thailand. Not much devastation in that fight though.

[GoNinty]

it's wrong, yes because they're too young, but, the kids may want to do it. My friend goes to boxing training every wednesday night (we're 13) and that's basically just the same.

[sammyq990]

it's been going on for centuries...

[locoxguy]

In my opinion, it's only wrong because they are young kids. I don't see anything wrong with organize street fighting but they should only put full grown MEN to fight not children.

[MrNellie2200]

@locoxguy or women.

[locoxguy]

@MrNellie2200 There is nothing wrong with women fighting.
