Quote from Sophia in Fiddler on the Ropes
Sophia: It's a guaranteed purse. And for our lousy 3-grand investment, that's a $7,000 profit. Pepe gets the standard 20%, and we're left with a tidy sum for only one week's work. Blanche: So 20% is standard for a boxer? Sophia: It is if he doesn't speak English. Dorothy: Ma, that's it. Forget it. Take him back. Sophia: To where, Customer Service? Besides, I believe there's a no-return clause on fighters. Unless you're Robin Givens.
