There's no way that I would pay 1 pence to someone who accused me of something I didn't do. Not just out of principle but also because paying someone to shut up is not an admission of guilt but it's what a guilty person who's scared would do.
These allegations hang over people whether found innocent or guilty when they're in the public eye, and it's his image that would take a hit. His image makes him a lot of money ($1bn is the recent contract) and the thing that will keep money coming in after he's finished playing.

I can see why the situation is different for someone like him than it would be for the average person.

I'm not saying that makes him less likely to be guilty, I just don't think it makes him look more guilty as it could initially be perceived.
