But from what I've seen, the "they have enough money, it would take a lot to make a difference to them" argument has had TONS of counter-examples from athletes.

But you're talking about with-in socially accepted norms. Look at the pressure for the Heatles to take less money in order to win. Money is one thing, but we're talking money to deal with social stigma which is a whole different ball of wax.
The idea that Cameroon might have thrown games, despite their wealth, I can see. But not with Brazil this World Cup.
