I was reading this interview today and Mr. Dileo said that the doctor received an advance from AEG. It wasn't in quotes. Another interview I read today was that Michael advanced the money from his advance. Whatever the case, it's all the same ball of wax. The money came from the money that was budgeted for the show. I wonder how much the advance was.Did doctor Murray say he wasn't paid?

The press reports said AEG was paying him $150k a month.
That’s what I OK’d. What he originally asked for was astronomical. AEG did not hire the doctor. That was Michael’s doctor for months. AEG just advanced him the payment, which was part of the budget. I had one meeting with him, making sure Michael had the right vitamins, what kind of smoothies to make, should it be G2 or Gatorade after the show? He told us he was a cardiologist, and I said, “Michael, this is perfect. Because I’ve already had three heart attacks and I have seven stents in my heart. If I drop over in London, this guy’s right there.”

I thought so too.
Thought who couldn't go on the London tours?
Maybe CM was in cahoots with Sony, being hired to "off" Michael standing in the way of them getting their hands on MJ's beattle catalog. Only maybe since Michael hadn't yet signed the contract they paid CM with money not included in TII tour budget. If they wanted the guy to do the job they had pay him. I dunno know though, I am tired... just a random thought.
