What's really going on
The arena scene marks Harry's first hard lesson in the world he is trying to enter. He is a tout, the lowest job in the room, and his punishment for working the crowd is immediate. The film gives the bouncer the best line: "So is the morgue. Move." It is funny and it tells you exactly where Harry stands, which is nowhere. The second half belongs to Gregorius, the old wrestler watching his sport turned into a spectacle. "What have you done to wrestling?" he asks, and the answer from his son is the modern one: times have changed. The scene sets up the film's real conflict, between an old idea of the sport and the money-driven world Harry wants in on.
Theme
PowerHarry is thrown out of the arena by men who enforce Kristo's rules without argument, which shows where he ranks.

What have you done to wrestling?Gregorius's protest: the sport he loved has been turned into a cheap show, and he blames the people running it.
So is the morgue. Move.The bouncer's reply to 'this is a public place': the dead are also allowed somewhere, so leave, and the joke is the threat inside it.
You must understand that times have changed.The son's defence of everything the old man objects to: the world has moved on, so the old rules no longer apply.
Is it for this you brought me from Athens? This circus?Gregorius asking whether his son only brought him from Greece to watch a spectacle, which makes the answer obvious.
このシーンについての質問
Why is Harry thrown out of the arena?
He is a tout, hustling customers inside the arena, and the men who run it do not allow club touts to work the crowd there. He is ejected immediately.
Who is Gregorius?
An old, famous wrestler, brought from Athens by his son Kristo. He is disgusted by the staged spectacle in the arena and wants real wrestling.
Why do Gregorius and Kristo argue?
Gregorius thinks the sport has been ruined, while Kristo says times have changed and that he has everything arranged for them in Liverpool. It is a clash between tradition and business.
Why does Gregorius say he does not thank his son?
Kristo has just had a man thrown out for speaking to his father, which shames Gregorius rather than protecting him. So he says plainly that he does not thank his son for it.
What does "hustling suckers" mean?
It means tricking or pressuring people into spending money. The line accuses Harry of working the crowd for profit, which is why he is removed.
