Well, what can I say, I grew up in the small town of Webb,TX. It is just a little jaunt from Laredo(which is right on the Mexican border).
Down in our neck of the woods, Cock fighting rates right up there with Friday night HS football and grandma's apple pie. Every Saturday evening my old man and I would take our highly trained roosters down to San Rafael, Mexico for the weekly prize fight. There was a lot of money to be made (and lost) at these events.
You do realize that this is Mexico's version of Las Vegas right? The only difference is that great pride is taken in ones cock's! The ones who become champions basically are considered part of the immediate family. As for those roosters that become grand champions, well, lets just say they have special honors bestowed upon them.
This is where Heratio and Spartacus fit in here. Muddy has come upon the picture of our most prized grand champion fighting cocks. Both of these two made us plenty of dinero before they passed on. It was only fitting to immortalize each of these grand champions with full body mount, so they could look down on us forever.
Now if it would not have been for that one bad year we had back in the 90's when we pretty much lost everything in the ring and were forced to move north. My family might still be cock fighting in Texas today. AHHHH, those were the good old day.
