Match fees are already an irrelevance for the top tier players, aren't they, with sponsorship deals and product endorsement fees dwarfing them. This is why you never hear huge complaints when players are fined huge percentages of match fees for disciplinary offences. If, as the above post suggests, a player has an $800k arrangement with the IPL, you can be sure that no national board is going to get close to that in test or ODI fees.
