At the WBC Hall of Fame ceremony a few days ago, Tyson made headlines about his former agent Donkin, about why Tyson hated Donkin so much? This has to start from 1995, in 1995 Tyson just spent his three years in prison, after coming out, Donkin immediately gave Tyson two hundred million games, Tyson was also very happy, and then the bank told Tyson that in the three years of Tyson's imprisonment, Donkin had already stolen Tyson's account, transferred a total of more than one hundred million US dollars, and since then the two people's beams have been formed.
In fact, if you look at Donkin's resume, you will find that this person is a boxing promoter, and he is simply a triad boss. In the 70s and 90s, Donkin was one of the best boxing promoters in the world. Boxing champions Ali, Tyson, Fraser, Roy Jones Jr., Hollyfield, Foreman and other world-class boxers are all "superstars" pushed out by Donkin.
In addition to promoting boxers, Tang Jin also made a lot of money from it, and according to statistics, in the past 20 years, Tang Jinguang's surface income has exceeded 500 million US dollars. But private income may be several times more than this amount, you know from Tyson alone, Donkin sneaked no less than two hundred million dollars of property, and nearly ten million dollars from Ali, not to mention other boxers. In addition to "stealing" the player's property, Donkin was also embroiled in two life lawsuits, and in 1954, When Hemp shot a customer in his casino, he was later found to be justified in self-defense, but it was widely believed that Donkin had bought the judge, and in 1967, He beat one of his own men to death on the road, and was only sentenced to four years in prison afterwards.
But there is no denying that without Donkin, boxing would not have developed into what it is now, he was the first person to sell boxing events to the TV network, the first promoter to promote the "champion vs champion" competition, and the first promoter to sell broadcast fees to more than $2 million, no matter which one of them is taken out, the impact on the entire boxing industry is very huge.
Now That Donkin is 87 years old, those who hate him still hate him, and the boxing world is no longer the boxing world of thirty years ago, but Donkin's influence on this industry is still beyond doubt.
