Don't worry. This is just a ploy to get a raise. There is little chance that HBO will cancel their cash-cow, and there is no chance that they will film it without JG as Tony. From what I hear, HBO is playing hardball with him, and so he threatened to get out of his contract. Basically, he has the upper hand right now, and it looks like he will get a raise of some sort. Whether it is 800k or a bit less is yet to be seen. My guess is that they will continue to bicker and then come to an agreement of about 650-700k
