His is probably only 10% too, We are talking about him getting 50%-65% of the 10% commission.

How Are You Compensated?

Problem with giving your current boss an ultimatum, which is what you need to do for him to take you seriously (he is not going to just drop his pants because you ask nicely), is that if you don't have a Plan B available if he says forget it, then you are left in a weakened position. Do some serious research in your area before approaching your boss; he probably has. Even if you don't have another offer, you need to be sure that 50% is low for what your agency offers in support. Nothing worse than having your bluff called because there are no better offers. Yes, you can strike out on your own, but forgetting about getting all of your contracts and infrastructure in place, how many of your clients are going to leave an established agency to follow you to a brand new one man shop? How much new business are you going to be able to pursue when you are setting up shop and doing all of the administrative work that used to be handled by others? Something to think about.
By the way, in my neck of the woods, for a good agency that offers a lot of support and value added services that makes it an asset to your sales and retention, 50% is on the high side.
