Yeah and ***** probably made a good chunk of change that same year hosting Wrestlemania 4, since the show sold a lot of tickets and PPV buys. Fans consider it one of the worst Wrestlemanias, but still a lot of people bought it because of the huge success of Wrestlemania 3 in the now defunct Pontiac Silverdome. I'm guessing the Detroit Lions used to play there.

Do fighters usually have to pay their trainers and team themselves or does the money some from somewhere else?

Unless a trainer makes a commitment to one fighter (almost) exclusively he doesn't deserve a percentage. When you look at Chappie Blackburn and Louis you see a career long relationship worth a percentage, I never saw that kind of commitment from Emanuel Steward; certainly he was talented and important, (but never committed except maybe to Hearns) and deserved to be paid big, but not a percentage.
