Al Jazeera gains rare access to Mexico cockfighting event

About three million fights are held every year, and promoters are wary of allowing filming.
But Al Jazeera gained access, in the city of Pachuca, to what organisers say is this year’s biggest fighting event.
Al Jazeera’s John Holman reports.
