10%? that's shocking when you consider some of the purses on offer. Not bad for the best view of the fight
Just look at Joe Cortez during the Floyd/Hatton fight. No one can tell he wasn't in Floyd's promotor's pocket. (for the record floyd still would've won with a FAIR referee but the point remains).
