An author usually gets a payment up front - so he would have got that regardless of sales, then a % of profits. But he's not the author, so the author royalties are split between Coyle and Hamilton.
If the book is $20, and the typical royalty is being paid ~4-10%, that's 0.80c - $2/book, split between the 2 authors, not counting discounted sales, etc.
Your complaint is Hamilton is making
good money.
I doubt it.
I look forward to you demanding JV pay his salary to charity, as he is in exactly the same position: earning good money thanks to his doping as a professional cyclist.
