You keep saying this, but that doesn't mean it's going to make more sense the next time.
As long as the costs are lower due to fixed percentage rates, top gun players will keep getting paid more and more in the future, while the lower tier players may have to take less since the high paid players will be taking a bigger percentage of the 50% split, which was going to be spent by the owners anyway. So the only thing different is which players get to take a certain amount of cut of that pie.
