In [[3053]] the Stable has a 20% cut of winning gained by its MechWarriors and the MechWarriors receive a 1.000 C-Bill salary a month. These contracts are noted for being long term & unbreakable.  MechWarriors are treated in luxury, but should they not live up to the stables' standard, they would be shuffled away back to lower ranking arenas where grunt work is done.<ref name=S7GBp16 />
