What it is
The ring behind the Channel 7 studios at Mo Chit, where cards are staged for broadcast and the crowd gets in for nothing.
The long version
Television is the third institution in the sport, after the army and the betting floor, and this is where you can see it working. The card exists to fill a slot; the audience is the set dressing; entry is free because the product is not the ticket.
Inference — it is also the one ring in Bangkok where a visitor sees a Thai crowd rather than a crowd of visitors, and that changes what the fight sounds like more than anything happening in the ring.
