There never should have been an agreement/contract where he did not receive some of the proceeds to begin-with. Regardless of what the Tuohys did or didn't do for Oher, its shady as fuck that there was a profitable book and movie made about his life that did not pay him.
Yep.

Also, everyone saying they took Oher in to profit from him is absolutely ridiculous.

They never needed his money. They have plenty.

So you are saying that it was shady as hell the George W Bush did not receive any money from Oliver Stones "W" movie?

After all it was a movie about him .....he should have gotten paid ..right?

Oher is worth 16 mill after his playing career....the family is 213 mill.

They profited way more over his story then he did. Doesn't seem right.
Were they not millionaires before taking him in?

One thing people need to keep in mind is that when someone get's a percentage of a movie it's not always straight forward. Movie companies are adept at misleading folks. So if a movie grosses 100 mil at the box office and they say it cost 15 mill to make you think you should get a cut of the 85 mil. But then the movie co will say you get 2.5% of profits and they spent 15 million on advertising. And the 100 mil is what the theaters brought in, not what the movie company made. If you and your lawyer know what you are doing you can make a nice buck on the percentages. If you don't and you're an author or connected to a story they will likely pay you very little in the end after some "creative accounting".
