Lots of people get ten or fifteen percent: literary agents, theatrical agents, business managers, and various other assorted flesh peddlers. Some of them are worth it, most of them aren't ... but ten to fifteen percent is the going rate. So it should go without saying that Stanley Mitterwald is a little out of the ordinary. He is an eighteen-percenter--the only eighteen-percenter--and he's worth every penny of it. You don't read about him much, because he likes to keep out of the limelight, but you certainly know his clients. He's the guy who got Ibn Jad el Khobar six million dollars to jump from India to Pakistan in the Pan-Asian Soccer League. And remember when Billy McBrine signed a twenty-year no-cut pact with the Yankees after every specialist in the country said his arm wouldn't last out the year? Stanley's doing. And of course, he's the guy who invented the Hollywood play-or-pay deal. Yeah, he's one hell of a sharp guy. Made his first ten million in sports before he branched out, but he soon got into just about everything.
