From what I've read, his health deteriorated to a dangerous level, and the guy just wanted it over with. Would I pay someone out? I don't think so... but this was so disgusting a malicious, so detrimental to his career and his spirit, so embarassing, that he just wanted it to stop. Have you read Evan Chandler's recorded phone call?

He's nasty, he's mean, he's smart and he's hungry for publicity. Everything's going to a certain plan that isn't just mine. Once I make that phone call, this guy is going to destroy everybody in sight in any devious, nasty, cruel way that he can do it. I've given him full authority to do that. Jackson is an evil guy, he is worse than that and I have the evidence to prove it. If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be destroyed forever...Michael's career will be over.

Like, that's pretty damning in my opinion along with all the other murky crap.
