As stated above it's hard to say. But if you are to compete with the best in that discipline, you will certainly have to make an effort.
Cockfighting is almost a subculture in this game, some are very much into it and they are willing to spend a lot of time and/or CC's at it.
Others, the majority by the looks of it, don't care about it and are better of just accepting the recurring periods of "shame", saving time and CC's for other activities.
So imho, if the reason you're asking is that you are tired of being beaten and not that you want to win, my advise is don't bother to try to keep up. It just ain't worth it.
