To be honest I wouldn't believe the Sun, it's known for blatantly lying. I doubt it was anything more than a few tempers flying.
The Sun - Tabloid Lies

Well they did say four people were arrested, so perhaps a bit more than just a frayed temper or two.

I can't make the video in the article play, but the pictures certainly point to more than a bit of a ruffled feathers.

Four arrests are nothing, also it doesn't say they were charged only arrested, so I doubt it was anything much. I don't think the Brits were sore losers as it seems it was the Italians that lost.

The wife and I actually went to NOLA the first week of this month as we have friends that live there. During our first day we walked up there but what were we told...

"Other than Lafitte's, there is nothing but tourist trap stuff on Bourbon and 3 blocks further up it gets really sketchy."

All the good food and drink is between Bourbon and the river

My daughter and her husband went to New Orleans on their trip to the US a couple of years ago, they also went to Florida where they have friends and to New York. My son in law goes to the States taking race horses there to run quite often usually to Kentucky.

I competed in a few tourneys back in the seventies that turned into brawls. Some pretty good ones, too.

And one near brawl - On time I competed and got into a couple nasty matches that I won. The folks I fought were nothing much more than hoodlums. I was by myself, and afterwards I was suddenly surrounded in the parking lot - about to get a serious beating. And all of a sudden, the people surrounding me, who were moving in - found themselves surrounded by Kali Kano Griffith and his entire Kajukenbo/Parker Kempo dojo (about sixty of them) who moved in quelled the problem with no violence.

They became like a sister school to me and mine from that day forward.

everybody was kung fu fighting.

So the Sun is the love child of the National Enquirer and Breitbart?

Looks to me like a large crowd of people trying to break up a lil' sock up between 4/5 others?
'Mass Brawl' is an exaggeration for sure.

Imo if I was gonna start fisticuffs I would NOT want to start it at a martial arts tourney ~.~

If you ever accompany your son in law to Kentucky, you should stop in and visit. I'd love to meet you in person and you'd be a welcome guest at our gym.

lets get some brawls started.

 

[drop bear]

vale tudo.

Now THAT is a mess. I didn't watch the whole thing...a gang shootout in Australia? Does that happen? (I live in the US, and I thought we had a lock on that for the English-speaking world.)

 

[JowGaWolf]

The video didn't look like a brawl to me. It looked more like a "Hold me back" tournament where the goal was to see how many people could hold one guy back.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

a "Hold me back" tournament

I'm going to host one of those. You in?

Biker gangs have the money and the connections to get guns and use them.

Mostly they are pretty stable. More like the mafia. But their lives are also a soap opera. So somone says something nasty about their harley or something and they get all emotional. And then they have to bash or shoot someone.

The issue became that they were getting so scrappy that they started recruiting muscle. Who were not so stable. And this sort of junk happened too much. So they are basically banned as an organisation now.
