Yes, there's an excellent song about cock fighting, written by Tom Russell, and recorded by both him and Ian Tyson. It's called "Gallo de Cielo" (the heavenly cock...or "rooster", if you prefer). It's about an impoverished Mexican who tries to win a huge amount of money with a very fierce fighting cock named Gallo de Cielo...and he almost makes it to his objective.
