The rest of the airports in that list combined handle 5% less passengers than the five mentioned hubs combined. So 40-50% should be correct.

But it doesnīt even matter if Iīm right, fact is that most of the largest hubs are/will be able to facilitate the A380. And this is only the beginning, more airports will most likely follow.
