  "story": "A card runs eight to ten fights. The early ones are the youngest fighters, often children, and the crowd is thin. The middle of the card is where the best matched fights are and where the betting floor is loudest. The main event is the biggest names, and is not always the best fight.\n\n*Inference —* arriving for the main event is arriving for the last and least interesting hour, at the price of the whole evening. Arrive in the middle.\n\nEach fight: the fighters come in, the mongkhon is on, the band starts, the wai kru takes about four minutes, the trainer takes the mongkhon off, five rounds of three with two minutes between, decision. Then the next pair."
