PE Management Fee Question

Ok, so I have been looking through a lot of sponsor-backed companies that they all have management fees they pay to their sponsor.

So my question is, are these management fees on top of the 20/2 management fees that are paid by the LPs?

Also, if a sponsor owns something like 85% of the equity and management owns 15%, do the sponsor only recieve 85% of management fees or do they still recieve all of it?

thanks
