If it’s going to hurt the show, and he’s demanding the money anyways, the viewers will be the losers.

According to Weiner, AMC is insisting on overpaying him at the expense of the show. It's bizarre. Seems to me like these negotiations just went public. Weiner actually released his statement to a fan site, that speaks volumes about what his tactic is... http://www.lippsisters.com/

In times like this you have a guy demanding so much money for a story, and complaining? He is a greedy bastard.

I think that if he wants to keep the things he wants to help with his overall vision then the paycheck needs to be shaved a bit. But anyone who thinks Mad Men can run without him is highly delusional.
