Taking 1/3 is not nearly as much as King stole.
Many athletes and actors or others consider their agents and managers slave owners, forgetting that those slave owners made their careers.
it is true the boxer must win, but a good manager is worth 30% since they control the fights, and advancement.
Taking 30% of a purse, normally means that also includes training, and other expenses.
An established fighter can set their own percentages, but if they pay the manager 10% then the fighter must pay gym fees, travel expenses, and trainer expenses, so it comes out the same.
KIng's wife got $2 million a year to be the president of the Tyson fan club, no one holds a candle to being crooked or cheating as much as Don King did in his career.
Everyone took advantage of Mike and he let them because he was trying to become civilized . Mike knew if he went off and killed one of these clowns it would be over for him so he really let a lot of people get away with a lot and not just money.That why Mike never when back to those guys they broke his heart. This is inside stuff people. My exwife was Mike's secretary best friend.
What
In the 2008 documentary 'Tyson', he says they were slave masters and stole 1/3 of his money. He talks about them in the same regard as Don King.
Thoughts?
Most Tyson fans have it that they were good, even I did!
