I think what happens is that people who don't actually give a shit about them get their claws into them and intentionally ruin their careers for their own benefit. There are a bunch of Mike Tyson stories about how he was doing great until Don King got a hold of him. Prior to that he had a team that supported him when he was basically homeless. I don't remember his main trainer's name but he actually kind of adopted Mike in his teens. Once that guy died, everything started to go downhill and Mike can't even talk about him without getting tears in his eyes and a crack in his voice.
