You think Solana Marketing or any other company involved here as sponsors will take an official stance? Cause that would be pretty telling. Pat, the owner of Solana has pretty much said that she refuses to speak out against Buakaw, no matter what he does because they made him into a national hero and she doesn't want to destroy that. I'm not sure what's gonna happen, honestly. |

I know, I know, YouTube.. but the first comment on the video I've seen could be interesting though: "Hey, I got info for Thai News. It said that there was a gamble website going on here and K-1 was the one organizing that gambling website. Buakaw already gave info to the police in Thailand before the fight began and he mentioned that if it was a draw, he would not fight the extended round because that means the results was locked; If it is a draw, K-1 will get most profit from the gambling becuz most of people already bet that Buakaw would win in 3 rounds. " Was it possible to bet on draw? If not, this draw bet "argument" is invalid.  |

Pat, the owner of Solana has pretty much said that she refuses to speak out against Buakaw, no matter what he does because they made him into a national hero and she doesn't want to destroy that. Wait, am I getting this right? Buakaw goes to the police to try and get the organisers of this event arrested. The event is organised by K-1 Thailand which essentially is Pat and her company. In other words Buakaw tries to get her arrested. And yet she refuses to speak anything against him and his team because he is a marketing success of hers? So hypothetically, if jailtime was a real possibility here she would still rather just go to jail than say anything? Is that a culture thing cause I seriously don't get it? Or am I wrong on this?

So much crap I see going on (did you know, now it's established that K-1 owns TopBetta and they set up this whole betting business themselves) that I really don't care anymore. Let those idiots follow their hero and role model all they want, maybe even set up a fund and make donations so that he won't starve to death after all this times he was fucked up by evil promotions trying to profit off of him. Lost all respect and all will to support this circus. The sorry-ass state kickboxing is in won't improve anytime soon as long as such bush-league business is going on.

 Sure enough, idiots are responding how Buakaw is the 'true champ'. I hope Kehl won't let the internet get to him. |

I'm not sure what's gonna happen, honestly. At this point I feel that it doesn't even matter what happens anymore. The one pulling the strings, whoever that is, got what he wanted, that being discredit K-1 rules fighting ("don't mess with Thai national sport", "don't come back to Thailand" being the consensus). Buakaw is still having his massive support so even if K-1 sues him and wins somehow his team can just sell it as another sob story of mistreatment and being cheated making him an even bigger hero of justice in the process. It's a lost cause. |

 It truly boggles the mind how stupid the majority of humanity seems to be. Does public opinion really matter, when the majority of it consists of retards? |

Even more retarded is the notion that K-1 somehow gets millions from supposed gambling scam when all those idiots screaming "cheaters" haven't even heard about this betting site before Buakaw's team made a fuss about it. So from who do those millions come from, some anonymous gamblers that aren't actually fans of kickboxing but liked the odds and coincidentally use TopBetta to place bets?

From Sityodtongs facebook:
"Organize K1 is based on their sponsors. It used to be held in Japan but somehow the sponsors goes bankrupt so that they started it again somewhere else and then now in Thailand. However, they didn't even a permission from the Muay Thai coucil in Thailand that they wants to organized a fight here in Thailand. Buakaw is only allowed to fights 3 rounds of more than that's he has to go jail. So this might be one of the reason he left the ring. It's not that he's pussy or whatever. And then again. There's always a story behind it that we all don't know. Since 2004 the K1 rules has been changed from time to time because of Buakaw. They try whatever ways to bring down Buakaw but they failed until now. Gambling is one thing cheating is another. Put yourself in his shoe. You have no idea how hard he bring himself to be who he is today. He's been through a lot. Trust me if you get to talk to him or live with him. You'll definitely know what kind of person he is. He can choose to live a life like Mayweather and yet he chose to be humble and stay normal life like how he used to as a kid. That's all I have to say for now. Thank you for your time reading this."

" Was it possible to bet on draw? If not, this draw bet "argument" is invalid. The argument, hilariously enough, was that if it was a draw that the site (and somehow K-1) would keep all of the money. So, you know, K-1 organized for it to be a draw to discredit the guy that they dropped a cool million on to promote a show in his home country for when they have been working for two years to establish China as their home base of operations. Because, you know, when you bet on a website and there is no option to choose a draw and it ends in a draw, the site keeps the money, right? ....wait, that never happens? Well shit, this theory is awful! |

Surefire fallback story right there
K-1 arranged a betting scam, that's why Buakaw left. Proof? Because Buakaw said so. And why we should believe him? Because
I don't know. I grew up believing that one is innocent until proven guilty. Here there's no need for any proof. K-1 cheated yet again. Buakaw said so so it's true, there's no need for anything else. K-1 owns that betting site, K-1 organised it all to screw Buakaw and make money off of him. That's what Buakaw said so how dare you not believe him. The man is a living hero, you must have no shame to doubt him.
Seriously, it's like 1% of those commenting on this shit takes neutral stance until something more is known. All the rest just blindly follows the line of Buakaw's management and deems K-1 guilty already. And it's hard to have any hope of the truth behind this incident ever getting out when the reaction to K-1 filling a lawsuit against Buakaw is as if those involved are telling you with a smile on their face "come and try winning a case against a Thai in a Thai court".
