Not really.

It is $3.3 million (about $4mil with bonus) for two years.

$2 mil per year is a cost of living increase for The Doctor.

That's about $3.2 million more than I make, so it sounds like a lot to me.

It is relative.

I wouldn't sneeze at $2 mil either but for Rossi, it equates to less than 10% of his annual income.

It's just another drop in the bucket.

Hey, cool, I just lost over 10% of my income. Sweet.
