~Thye are getting a huge amount of money. That's the reason why they are involved
with gambling, not only limited to cockfight but the whole gambling activities
with the involvement of most government officials.
I don't know, does cockfighting attract many gamblers, I mean, worldwide?
There's an article in Bloomberg, saying that
"Online Cockfighting Wagers Rake in Billions in the Philippines". In the article they say that only one groups revenue each month is about 1.5 billion Philippine Pesos($27 million USD), and that's a huge money, but is there another country like the Philippines in this regard?
I think it's not much of a worldwide game that attracts many gamblers around the globe, cockfighting only exist in handful countries in South-East Asia. I've searched it on the internet, it shows that it's also famous in Latin America but gamblers are not that drawn to it unlike to the countries in Asia.
And it's true that E-Sabong (Online Cockfighting) has a revenue of about 1.5 Billion Pesos monthly but that was before it's still legal because now, government has banned E-Sabong, but live cockfight games do exists legally, just not the online version.
