I think that's a bit unfair. Greig has given details, an explanation and options to the OP. It might just be a bit more complicated than a simple thing.
In your original answer you said:
These are quite true for a certain scenario. Greig has however added that there are alternative scenarios to be considered, such as the guy might actually be able to pay. If a client of yours did not pay you for a placing, would you just take him at his word that he did not have enough money so wanted a 50% discount?
The suggestions on renegotiating are good ones. However at the end of the day both of you have either said or implied that this relationship is not good and that the OP should seek alternative employment or work as a genuine independent with other sources of revenue. And this bit, I think we can all agree on. The OP should make plans to move on.
