Thats some good information!

Is there a name for a person that trains the gallos? A person that trains them for the owner?

I have been told that person is called "preparador".

I can use the word cockfighting as a usages or idiom.

For example yesterday I could to see a great cockfighting between two people in the street.

Is correct my sentence using the word cockfighting as an idiom?
No, but you can use catfight in a similar way. Like:

"Suzy lost her weave and Becky's earrings got ripped out in that catfight last night."

In case you were wondering...:D

Then Rusty. I can't use that sentence to say if there is a fight between mans.

I mean. My brother and my friend is fighting. But If I want use the phrase that you mentioned before.

I can say they are between catfight.

I hope you can understand me.

If you have doubts above my commentary in this post please you don't hesitate to ask me.

Boxing causes brain damage. Boxers get punchdrunk. They are exploited.
Cruelty to animals other than humans is hard to excuse, but cruelty to
humans seems even worse.

(I just noticed how old this post is, but it's slow at work so I'll comment anyway)

The argument, at least here in the States, is generally that human fighters (Boxers, wrestlers, martial arts, whatever) choose to participate, whereas in events like bull and cockfighting, the animals are forced to fight. For that reason, many people here think the later is much worse than the former.

No. unless they are they seemed efeminate when they were fighting. Cat-fight is a sexist idiom.

Again, Crotalito, a "catfight" is only used to describe a situation where one woman is fighting another woman.

"Did you see that catfight yesterday? Amanda really got the better of Shelly!" would be an example of it's use. However, it's not really a ... nice ... term. It's not a bad word, but tends to be used by males who enjoy the sight of two women fighting.

I have understood each word written by you. But, how can I say a fight between men?Men have fights. They can be called all kinds (http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/fight) of things, depending on the situation, hostility, etc..
Women have catfights. Women can also have a fight at different levels, but a catfight is when they are pulling hair, shredding clothes and scratching each other. Sound like any cats you know?

Just like that. If you mean he's competing against other people to get a job.
