Because there is always someone willing to pay it? The fault of that lies not with Kasparov, but with the organizer or whoever decides to pay it. Do you mean to tell me that if your boss told you that you were going to start getting thousands of extra dolloars for just showing up that you would refuse that? >>What's with all of the "last stand" crap?

He could use some humbling, no doubt, but I don't see that he owes anyone else anything. If he owes something to himself, as you say, then it is none or your concern, or the concern of anyone else on the internet, but you see these kind of "Kasparov should take a last stand for humanity" crap type postings on the internet frequently, which indicates that you and others think he owes you something, not himself.
