No one wants to spend 5.3B to get basically nothing out of the process but the games themselves, but they might be willing to do 7.3 if they get most of what they want.
This of course is the major problem with hosting the Olympics, the only way to make it truly worthwhile is to spend more and more. Bare bones and basically no one wants it.
