Did anyone watch it last night ?

Its the best Gypo documentary ive seen all about a fued between two clans and how they sorted it with fights for money anything upto £60,000 a fight. Where they get the money from is beyond me the lovable tinkers !

One fight between the leader of a clan and the son of a fella he beat 10 years before was arranged for a purse of 30k and it lasted two and a half hours :shock:

Well worth a watch

Read an article on this the other day. The bloke broke all of his knuckles in the first 30 mins, and the other bloke got disqualified twice for trying to bite his ears off. This bloke didn't want to win by disqualification so carried on.

Mental they are
