"Sia Kaek," owner of PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym, has recently posted about Chatri Sityodtong, Chairman and CEO of ONE Championship.
"Sia Kaek," Somchai Tesrungreung, owner of PK Saenchai Muay Thai Gym, affirmed that every fighter at PK gym is grateful to Chatri Sityodtong, Chairman and CEO of ONE Championship, because without ONE, the fighters would have no chance to escape poverty or might have quit fighting to pursue other jobs.
Sia Kaek stated, "All fighters at PK gym deeply appreciate Chatri Sityodtong. Without ONE events, the fighters would have no opportunity to rise above poverty. I teach the fighters to recognize the kindness shown to PK by him. Whatever he does, hosting fights involves costs and profits or losses."
"We must consider hotel expenses for the fight week, from Tuesday evening to Saturday, including the whole team; medical fees; costs for people in the warm-up room and at the ring; rental fees for Lumpinee Stadium; number of staff and officials; referees and hosts—all these require money."
"I teach fighters at the gym that without ONE events, who else would buy houses, cars, land, or have savings? Who could pay off their parents' debts? Look at Suriyanlek, my former student, who received 10 bonuses."
"Without ONE events, many fighters currently competing might have quit to pursue other careers. Even I couldn't have built houses for all the fighters."
"I say Muay Thai thrives because of ONE. Foreign students come to train at every gym; in Phuket alone, there are at least 300 daily, and PK has over 20 now—up from none before. This helps everyone to have income and live well. Many thanks to Chatri and ONE."
