Sharman's story was more of a case where the road to hell was paved with good intentions. There really is no factual evidence to indicate that Sharman shamelessly exploited his aboriginal boxers. According to one account he did this "to get them out of the cycle of poverty they were in." The group toured all over Australia in the early part of the last century. The mainly white crowds, however, wanted to see the aborigines lose.
