that happened to me years ago, for the salaries in all sports.
I just look at it differently now.
in the current market, I think 11 million x 8 years is fair.
but lets say people think he should sign for 9x8, when the market says he's worth 11x8.
why should he give up 16 million dollars because people think rich is rich and nobody needs that kind of money?
I don't have sympathy for him "only" being offered 88 million dollars, but I can understand wanting what you're worth.
