"Sia Boat": The day the Muay Thai boxing was knocked out of "Covid-19" poisoning


The situation of the COVID-19 epidemic that has started causing turbulence around the world since the end of the year. Until impacted heavily since the beginning of the past year Of course, all over the world encountered such serious poisoning all over the face, including Thailand and the sport of boxing. And this is the view of "Sia Boat" Natadej Wachirattanawong, famous promoter of Petchyindee Academy camp. Direction of boxing in Thailand



1) Relive your childhood memories of boxing.

Thai Rath TV shoots Battle of Yod Muay Wansongchai Cherries come to fight for real, will win the final, fun.

Boxing fans wait. SAT Brake boxing With people watching

Born, saw a boxing camp, saw a boxer I see, uh .. the atmosphere of the boxing stadium since I can remember. From small to growing up, I have been in the boxing stadium in a boxing camp all along. My playmates are also boxers in the camp. And ran around in the boxing camp That boxing's childhood memories are part of life. I grew up with boxing.


2) the path to becoming a promoter

Actually, it's a dream. It's my dream since I was a kid, and I think I've been to school and the teacher asks what I want to become. I will tell my teacher that I want to be a boxing promoter. Since I was 7 years old and it has been a career that people are confused about, eh, why I want to be a boxing promoter. Some people want to be a doctor. I want to be an engineer What do you want to be? But I only knew this profession at the time, at the age of 7, and so I decided that this was a career that I was going to pursue and went as far as possible as a boxing promoter that day when I was 7 and that was enough. Went to study abroad and felt that what we were thinking it made us more steadfast Because in the eyes of foreigners, Muay Thai is a sport that, if called in a teenage language, is extremely cool and cool in the eyes of foreigners.


We also think why foreigners place Muay Thai so much. But why Thai people in our country are not so important Seen as a sport of the poor Seen as a sport that has been classified into another category That people rarely dare to come into contact with So the goal is to come back to study from abroad and come back to do boxing Began to match the boxing match Start following my father Started as a promoter assistant Until finally being a boxing camp promoter at the age of 25, we were always with my father. And saw his father as a role model in life




3) What is the ideal of the heart?

The ideals that I have had since I started working until today are I want the boxing society to be better. Without looking at the benefits first The issue of benefits must be secondary. The first is how to make this society better. This society can live together happily. This is the ideology of my work.


4) What was the most impressive boxing arrangement?

Many times Organizing boxing has made many impressions in his life. Because the first time I held boxing, I was very successful. Others, he would collect the 7 hundred and eight hundred thousand baht, at that time it was at Lumpini Boxing Stadium. But at that time I was an assistant promoter. It is the first experience that I have matched a boxing match and arranged by myself And that day is considered a success because that day I can collect 1 million 7 hundred thousand baht, which normally my level item is not more than 7 hundred and 8 hundred thousand. I don't know what the reason is After that, it became a tinder that made me more determined to work here.



5) Which Thai boxer is your favorite?

If you really like it, like many people, but if it happens to be my favorite, I like you Samart Tiger Arun because you can really be good. Is a very good boxer A genius boxer Is a complete boxer As a boxer, I think I can find someone to compare with whatever era, regardless of age, which is difficult with Pee Samart. If it's a boxer, I like Mike Tyson.


6) When was the severe COVID-19 epidemic, how was it affected? And how to adapt

Actually, it affects the whole world. But Muay Thai is one of the most impactful parts because it is a group of people who have to say they are grassroots. No rich man becomes a boxer. Therefore, during the past COVID period I myself, as a boxing club, have to take care of about 50 boxers in the Phetchyindee Academy camp. Besides that, I am part of the boxing team, so I have to have a boxing camp in my agency. 70 care camps, which over the course of 5 months from March 13 announced the cancellation of the boxing tournament until today We have spent about 10 million baht, maybe for Petchyindee Academy that we help and we help the boxing camp under the boxing camp. Helping both boxing equipment in the return of Muay Thai Help with alcohol gels delivered to all campers with concern, that's what we help. And then about the company itself, it's already at a loss. Because there is no income, only expenses



7) What would you say back then about the trend that boxing was one of the causes of the spread of COVID-19?

Would not have to tell you anything Because he admitted that that day really Then that it should not have organized a boxing match During the time of COVID-19 infection In Thailand from the boxing stadium That period is the time when boxing has to be stopped. But still self-stubborn Our part is wrong. But after that, the good thing is that Muay Thai is the only one in this country. It is the only society that has come forward and admit that we are addicted to COVID-19. The number of people infected in our country right now is over 3,000, right? But the boxing group is the only group where we know each person's face is who is infected with COVID-19, but the other 2,000 do not know who is infected with COVID-19, this is our social responsibility. And we announced the names for those around you to be careful This is what I think, in the bad corner, there is still a good corner.



8) Addressing the overall management of all parties involved since the COVID-19 crisis.

Still can't imagine the thing about the boxing sports office that is useful to the boxing industry But before COVID-19, I still can't think of anything that would be useful to people in boxing. The most important thing is that the boxer heals, so far it has not been paid. Boxing sports office, register at SAT nationwide, head of boxing team, go to register and receive remedial money. Since May Probably May Until now, it has not been money. I don't know what a boxing sport office is for. Is it to help the boxing industry better or make the Muay Thai world go down?



9) How did it feel when there was an urgent issue at first about the issue of banning boxing fans from boxing?

In fact, I had to start like this before August 11, and there were books coming out of the NSC and the National Council of Ministers said that the normal sporting event allowed students to go to study at a hundred percent. Everything goes into normal system, we are happy on August 11th that boxing will be watched because more than a month The past is organized with no one to see. When no one is watching, it makes the promoter not have any income in the first place. In second place, the boxer received at least 50% reduction in his body fee. The leader of the team had no share from the boxers because the boxers had been depreciated. Is more than a month The past is that everyone has been biting blood all along. Swallow your own blood But when there is news that people will be able to watch Even though people watched it, it still hasn't returned as good as before. Because in the past, the Muay Thai industry had to admit that it was mainly dependent on foreigners. The main income is foreigners who have traveled overseas and watch boxing in Thailand.


When there are no foreigners, we are considered to be the main Thai people now. But Thai people, the amount of the entrance ticket fee still has not covered all the expenses. But at least Still have some expenses to help We are happy on August 11th that there will be people watching in the boxing stadium anyway. Last night (August 13), the Wiboon Boxing Sports Commission issued a book that the organization of the boxing tournament will remain closed. are Therefore making all the people in the boxing industry uproar like a kind of stomping on the heart of a boxing person We found that he had expected that his life was going to improve. So I had to come out and speak live. And it is the source that today Director Muay then canceled the order that was ordered yesterday.


10) How did you feel after coming out to make a claim?

Shows that it has already been viewed Today is the first day since COVID-19 came on March 13, until today, this is the first day. Muay Thai is about to be seen in the ring.



11) look to the future and direction Boxing camp - Boxing in the next 1-2 years, how?

Is now unable to look out Because it is in the period of COVID-19, we have to wait for the COVID-19 to end before the COVID-19 is over, so we can see which direction in the boxing industry is going. Because nowadays, Muay Thai is not yet organized for 7 days, so it can only be held on the day that it is broadcast live. When does the COVID-19 run out? When does everything go to normal system? When does a foreigner enter the country? That is, to look at the direction of boxing from now on.


12) What do you want to say in the end?

Talk about people in society Conclude that every person in Thai society Every person who is Thai Everyone is the owner of Muay Thai together. Thai boxing is not my thing. Muay Thai is not for any person. People born of Thai nationality are joint owners of Muay Thai. Therefore, do not underestimate Muay Thai sports. What kind of value in your eyes do you see Muay Thai? For me, of course, I am in boxing. I look at Thai boxing. This is the best of my life. But other Thai people Who are not in this society, how do you view muay thai This is the question I want to ask back. And is it time? If one day you think that the Muay Thai circle in our home that you condemn the criminals. One day, it's not already in this country, you have to go to watch Muay Thai abroad. How do you feel If muay thai must end in this generation How do you get your face to answer your ancestors? This is what I want to say and I want Thai people to be very aware of the importance of our national sport, Muay Thai.
