To what extent does the stablemaster profit from having high ranked 
wrestlers in his stable?  This question is addressed to anyone who can 
answer.  I know that the JSA provides an allowance to the stablemasters, 
but it was my impression that it was a simple one based on the number of 
wrestlers only.  Does the stablemaster obtain benefit from outside 
commercial interests due to housing a celebrity, or do JSA payments to 
him increase when his wrestlers gain promotion?  Of course, this is not 
counting the years supply of shiitake mushrooms, Corona beer, gasoline, 
one whole beef steer, use of a big car, and the other yuusho prizes 
which customarily are shared with the heya...
