He effectively does get interest. If he wanted a straight usual deal of 8 years with equal payments, they would give him about $60M. They agreed to pay him $63.2M due to the deferred payments, as that amount equates tot he NPV value considering the deferred payments.

Yes, he collects all of his money a day after the contract ends, but he's deferred lots of money from years 1 and 2, so he gets that money 8 and 7 years later.
