Jesus dude I've read enough autobiographies of the old timers to know that wasn't the case. Especially during the depression era. Maybe the top guys were getting paid well, but the lower card guys were still struggling worse then they are today.

Times change but basic principles always stay the same, and one of those is no promoter is going to pay a guy out of the kindness of their heart. They pay guys who put butts in the seats.
