Why didn't buakow win any lumpini muay thai title?

[Howitzer]

Please don't move this to the other section because the martial arts section seems to be dead.

You know buakow of k1 fame who used to be under por pramuk gym. I heard that he has not won any lumpini muay thai title at all so this means that he isn't good enough to win one? He's just the most popular muay thai fighter around?

The sections of the forum are there for a reason.

probably becuase K1 pays more than the lumpini fights. K1 seems more professional as well

He did win 1:

He was Thai champion and word champion so he was good enough.

as you know thailand has a huge list of muay thai champions. There isn't, how should i put it, a michael jordan of muay thai correct me if i am wrong. The thing about bua kaw is he's pretty famous and yes he's a good fighter but probably not the best muay thai fighter in thailand. He's easily the most famous muay thai fighter outside of thailand but he doesn't seem to dominate muay thai in thailand itself when faced with his contemporaries in thailand. I heard about some muay thai fighter called knee god and another one that broke the arms, legs of his opponent during a fight causing him to be retired instantly. I think they are stronger fighters.
