Is 1% of the total amount, including PPV, a standard practice?

10 percent is standard but often when purses get to such massive levels a flat fee is negotiated.

Do you think James is reaching a little here?

Yes, unless otherwise negotiated 10% is the norm. Remember the trainer was instrumental in getting the fighter to that level and the trainer received 10% of the early purses in the buildup…likely only several thousand for spending hours in the gym and in the film room developing a fight plan.

But James is saying he should be getting 10% of the PPV share, too. I haven't heard of this being done with other high profile trainers. That's standard?

Sounds like James has got a good case
