Oscar Bonavena - Reno

Reno

Joe Conforte, owner of the Mustang Ranch brothel near Reno, Nevada, brought Bonavena to Reno in 1975 to promote a series of fights and to train on the 440-acre (1.8 km2) property. Bonavena became friendly with Conforte's wife Sally Burgess, 26 years Bonavena's senior, and the two flirted openly. A later investigation concluded that they began an affair. He signed a contract making the former madam his manager, although she had never managed a fighter before. He gained weight and his condition deteriorated.
