    In 1969 when Jose Torres retired, he counted all his money he counted approximately one million dollars he earned. Then he checked how much cus D'Amato took, he counted zero, in fact cus doubled many of his early paydays!

    For all y'all saying cus was gay eat a crow sandwich!

    When Mike Tyson was going through bankruptcy he found out that Cus had saved over $200,000 of his purse money from his early fights and stored it in a trust account for Mike in case he fell on hard times. Mike mentioned it in his book and I've always remembered that because everybody inn Tyson's life robbed him and even from the ****ing grave Cus looked out for him. hat man should be ordained for sainthood in my opinion.

    I don't think anyone on this board has disrespect for Cus D'Amato.

    Pretty sure Jim Jacobs was good to Tyson too before he died. When Cus passed in ‘85, Jacobs was the barrier between Tyson and the wolves. When Jacobs passed in ‘88, it was open season for the wolves. At least that’s how I’ve always seen it.

    I didn’t know that about Cus and the trust account, truly an amazing guy.

    You can be a good guy and be homosexual guys. I 100% think he was gay. To never have a mrs and be playing footsy with another man is pretty telling

    I don’t know, playing footsie or rubbing your toes against another mans foot in bed is hard to not form an opinion. Great trainer but maybe a weirdo with it
