People already addressed the money thing so I decided to address this instead.
What was ACTUALLY said was:
Artosis thinks that you are a very talented player. Do you feel any pressure, because he is hyping you?
MajOr: No. I don't feel any pressure at all, acutally. I know Artosis from Starcraft 1. I take his words really lightly. I just focus on my game and practise. I try to play as good as possible as MVP does. I think he is the only good Terran in the game Starcraft 2.
I've bolded the couple of parts I think are key to this. It was a direct question about pressure on his gameplay. And he denied it was having an effect on him because he was instead focussed on his game.
If any top player was asked about whether he felt pressure as a result of people hyping him so much and he said "no, I don't concentrate on that, I focus on my game" would you be all over him as disrespectful then? Ok, the wording perhaps wasn't the best choice but I think you have to go out on a limb a bit to call it disrespectful to Artosis.
That said...not the best interview. Though I think it could be something to do with the interview being posted in English on a German site and with MajOr being a Mexican; with the obvious language difficulties that no doubt came about from all of this.

mostly quoting for emphasis
I don't know if ppl who said he misrespect Artosis were trolls, or just kinda stupid for not being able to read properly -_- duh
and yeah he gives plain and straight answers, he is not even close to being as Totalbiscuit who just gave a 1900 words interview about dreamhack regardless on the very very few questions made to him, but well, naniwa is naniwa, idra is idra, and juan is juan (i can go on) i wish all of them were even better answering questions and giving interviews, but as long as they play greatly, im kinda good with it
cheers
