I don't think GGG asked for more money. I think the HBO budget was $1.2m. He wanted his guaranteed $1m. I heard (can't confirm however, I admit) that Sergiy wanted more than 200k. But I also hear (from you now) that he was fine with 200k.
But who knows. Fair is fair. If GGG can get away with fighting Canelo or Saunders instead of Sergiy while still keeping his belt, he definitely will. And I don't think anyone will disagree with him. Boxers always have and always will try to get away with as much as they can to match their best interests for as long as they can until they can't. GGG is no different. If IBF let's him get away with it, then he will.
