Howard was getting good career traction at the time. For the second movie, they wanted to give Howard a pay cut while he wanted more money, which is honestly perfectly reasonable considering he was going to have a more prominent part and be in a ton of merchandising. There's really no situation where you should take less money for more work unless you're doing it for charity or something.
