People who know the boxing king Tyson must also know Tyson's agent, known as "vampire" Donkin, Donkin is a well-known big man in the United States, black and white, in the early years, Donkin was an agent in the entertainment industry, so he understands what kind of people will have the potential to become a superstar. Later, Donkin began to work as a boxer's agent, and immediately became the best promoter in the world, and his ambitions gradually revealed.
From the 70s of the last century, Donkin began to promote boxing competitions, after his famous boxers are Ali, Tyson, Fraser, Roy Jones, Forman, Hollyfield and others, with this achievement alone, Donkin's achievements have been unprecedented, behind these honors, Donkin has also done a lot of unseemly things, every customer is deeply affected, but Donkin's background is too strong, no one dares to say anything, as strong as the boxer can only obediently open the pocket to let Donkin take money.
In the 70s and 90s, the entire boxing world has always been the world of Donkin alone, according to statistics, in the past 20 years, Donkin's total income has exceeded 500 million US dollars, and private income may be several times this amount, because the income of agents accounts for 30% of the player's income, so from Tyson alone, Donkin got nearly 200 million US dollars. Ali also made tens of millions of dollars.
In addition to the "bully treaty" of taking money from his own players, Donkin was also embroiled in two life lawsuits, the first time in 1964, when Hekin shot and killed a customer who quarreled with him at his own casino, but was later found to be justified in self-defense; and in 1967, a subordinate employee went wrong, was beaten to death by a steel pipe on the road, and was released on four years' bail.
Donkin can be regarded as "full of evil", but it has to be said that without Donkin, boxing will not develop so fast, Donkin is the first person to put boxing matches on TV, and is also the first person to propose the "champion vs champion" event, and now Donkin has retired, but he still enjoys a very high status in the boxing world.
