It’s like what Burke always used to say- don’t nickel and dime guys. Be honest and be fair- negotiations don’t happen overnight.
Another way of looking at it:

He saw his current employer hand huge salaries to those two guys, he feels he brings and deserves more and that now its his turn.

Who set the precedent?
