It is very funny how this 40% number is suddenly a fact, when it actually came from TSL, who have no connection to Chrustalnii and who are often misinformed. Even the gossip-hungry Russian media never had gotten figures from the contract between Alina and her coaches.
Dave actually admitted that he loves to speak to some Russians who come to skate at the rink in Jersey, where he skates for fun. And these Russians talk and the things they say!!! Excellent source, I would say
My guess - in a recent interview Liza mentioned the number 30% (I don't remember if for coaches or federation or both), so the TSL guys probably thought "ok, Eteri is in Moscow, it is the best rink, so it must be more expensive, and they decided Alina pays 40% to Eteri.
So I would take that 40% number with a grain of salt.
