How much does the cable company take?

I thought it was 50%, if this is true then it makes the 100 million purse demand absolutely insane. Can anyone confirm how much the cable company makes.

I know it is a lot, I've heard right around half.

Depends on the mark up. Different providers will charge different prices. They try to keep it close to the competition but I heard DTV makes 40-60%.

So let's say the fight does 3 million buys at $65, that equal $195,000,000. The cable company takes half so we're left with $97,500,000 for everyone else. Mayweather wants $100,000,000 for himself??? WTF??
