If I had to pay a fine at work that was about 6% of my salary I wouldn't say it was no big deal. my standard of living wouldn't fall of but I'd still rather have the money myself than give it to them.
Phil Jackson makes about $10M a year and he was bitching about being fined $35K in his last press conference. These guys don't like giving away money.
