No the point is that neither of us know for sure. It appears that the received around a $1 million dollar advance. Some of that money was likely designated for production of the album. Neither of us know how much was for production and how much was an advance. I remember when the deal happened Jimmy Iovine caught some crap for giving them that much and he defended himself saying that a band like this would record an album and spend at least a year touring to support it and it wasn't fair that they do that for some tiny amount like $20,000.
Either way, my link has as much proof that a large percentage of that payout was an advance as yours did that the advance was linked to multiple records and other conditions.
