Typical sequence for a star player's negotiatons:
30 year old player making $23,000,000 per year demands $43,000,000 for 7 years.
You counter with an offer of $35,000,000 for 6 years.
Instead of shooting for somewhere between his offer and yours, player returns with a demand for $46,000,000 for 7 years.
This is NOT how negotiations work!
When will you finally fix this crap? It's been going on for years now.

If you're offering 20% less than the asking price, I agree that coming back with an ask increase of 5% is pretty unrealistic. The more realistic outcome would be the player hanging up and no longer getting your phone calls answered by that player or any other player the agent represents.
My experience is that this basically never happens unless I massively lowball someone (which is what offering 35M to a player asking 43M is).
