Sorry...thats just nonsense.

Its all about greed, which is fine if thats what he values, but dont try and sugarcoat it as something else.

I agree almost fully - it's about the money.

There is logic to what he's saying though - he's taking on more risk than normal by playing, so he expects to be compensated for that risk. By that logic sure. However, how can a millionaire demand such a thing knowing the economic situation of his employer? I find that part the part we should be annoyed at. It's no skin off my back but when that's your starting position in a negotiation, it doesn't sound very reasonable.
