Are you sure that’s the main reason? It’s seems like cock fighting is pretty niche or outside of the mainstream. At least today. Though I don’t know the history of this, but in older mainstream art and literature it is also not really prominent.

It's niche/illegal nowadays, but we're talking about a very old tradition in SEA that was spread to Europe by the Romans.
