I always wonder how much better could Samart have been if he had taken training and conditioning 100% seriously? Would have been something unbelievable to witness
Even 200,000 is criminally underpaid for the amount of heart and skill these warriors give for our entertainment. I only wish these gladiators would have been paid enough so that we wouldn’t have to keep watching them die young because they can’t afford to get proper medical care and medications. I am not a Thai, so I can’t act like I understand everything, but I believe the treatment they endured was quite harsh and, although it made them extremely tough, it also caused them to carry uncomfortable worries and fears into the fight. If they should lose, what will their Kru have to say? Or do? I respect the culture… but I don’t like the attitude of the promoters
