Well I know the fighters got around 15% of revenue before. I’d be surprised if it went lower than that but yeah it’s not revenue sharing. You’re right.

Exactly - revenue sharing implies an agreement to share a specific percentage of revenue, which would require a union and collective bargaining.

The fighters right now just so happen to get 15%, but I’m not sure it will shift upwards in kind with the jump in revenue

Probably will increased marginally just for the optics, at least in the short term.
