Slasher Cup 8-Cock International Derby is the biggest and most prestigous derby
in the world. It is also known as the Olympics of cockfighting. Every year it
becomes bigger and bigger. Right now, they had 380 entries and adopting an 8-day format for the first
time. It happens twice a year, every January and May or June. Any cockers are
dreaming to join this big event. Because once they win it will be a great honor
for them. Of course, big amount of cash prize will also at stake. You can see
the big names in cockfighting joining here like Patrick Antonio, Dicky Lim,
GenGen Arayata, Boy Marzo and a lot more respected breeders and cockers; not
only locals but foreigners as well.
One of
the most exciting at WSC, everytime they have a presscon the organizer always
bring at least three ladies from Binibining Pilipinas. They have to join the ceremony of WSC before
it will be started on the very next day. Like what happened on Jan. 18, 2014 Miss
Universe third runner up Ariella Arida was there with two beautiful ladies. For
me, the presscon became colorful and meaningful because of their presence. I am
very lucky because I had a picture with them. In the past presscon I saw also
Venus Raj and Chamsey Supsup. Yes, cockfighting is a gentleman sport that
represented by these beauty queens.
