This is the ring they're setting up for tomorrow night's fights. I'm not sure how long they'll keep using it for, but I hope they are able to keep putting their shows on.

Hopefully nobody got hurt.

Wow, was that the same day it burnt down? They think fast, or maybe I think slow. Cool!

Just minor injuries I believe, shame though.

No the same day. It burned down on Thursday evening and this ring is for Saturday and Sunday nights' shows. The weekend shows are televised and the financial penalties for not fulfilling their time-slot are crazy expensive, so they've just put the ring up in the parking lot behind the burned venue so they can meet the weekend shows. 

My trainer said that they'll move to Bali Hai after this weekend, which is an outdoor venue on the beachfront and they have televised events every so often: Buakaw's Superfight, One-Round Knockout, etc. However, the guy I chatted with at the gas station this morning seemed to think that Max would be renting out of a stadium in Laem Chabang until they could rebuild, which is maybe 30 minutes outside of Pattaya. I reckon my trainer is better informed, given that he has a fighter on the Max roster and knows one of the promoters, but it's possible that they just don't know yet what they will do so both stories are possibilities and neither is a firm move.
