I am not sure this is the right road, as the middle man is my good old friend. May be I will try to persuade him, how much value I provide by managing all the client work by myself. I think I can give him a big rate, if he refuses or couldn't convince the client to pay that much then I will stop working for him.

"good old friend" and he is basically profiting of your work for doing nothing? I'm not sure what other qualities he offers in the relationship with you, but leeching isn't something friends do. Don't get sentimental just because you guys know each other for a long time. If the roles were reversed, would he accept the same conditions? I don't want to sound harsh, but when money is involved you should maximize negotiations for your own gain because you should assume everyone else is doing the same. Your friend maximized his and he didn't care about the relationship with you, just about his own gain.
