No, it wasn't a money issue. From what I understand, Abrams didn't expect the amount pressure on him to be faithful to the vibe of the original trilogy.
He's stated publicly that he's upset about the decision to shoot in London, as he wanted to shoot in L.A. Moving to London for a year will require his kids to go to a new school, etc. and so on. He's also stated that he'd "honor" the OT but not "revere" it.
All of these comments (and much more, behind the scenes) have led to an impasse. I'm somewhat surprised that it got out at Comic Con but then again, what better place to drop hints that things aren't going so well?
