I think his life would have turned out entirely different if Cus D'amato did not die. Tragic figure
cus or no cus, he would have moved on with 40-60% of his purses going into their pockets. fate didn't take him to guys like steward and angelo dundee, at least for some guidance, which guys like ali and lennox benefited form. instead, he got don king and 50$M of his money disappearing while he was in jail. who knows since it's the same ole sports story?
btw, pac is next with arum and roach pocketing 35-40% of his money, and stories of him needing to fight to cover his bills in the phils.
