Guess who never got around to signing MJ's doc's $150,000/month contract

[rainbow4321]

MJ.

He died before he could sign it. AEG says that they advanced MJ the $$, but there was no signed contract for the doc's service. Somehow, this just doesn't seem the time for the doc or his attorney to be bringing up how much $$ is owed to the doc.

An attorney for Michael Jackson's doctor says the cardiologist is owed $300,000 by the promoter of the star's planned concerts in London.

Houston attorney Edward Chernoff said Sunday that AEG Live is two months behind on paying Dr. Conrad Murray to serve as Jackson's personal physician during the run of the shows.

Randy Phillips, CEO and president of AEG Live, says the contract to pay Murray required Jackson's signature. Phillips says Jackson didn't sign the agreement before his death Thursday.

Phillips says the firm had been negotiating to pay Murray $150,000 a month. He says the company was only advancing the money to Jackson, and the doctor's claim may now be against the singer's estate.

2. Seems this highly indebted doc couldn't catch a break....

I'm betting this is one client, he wished he'd turned away.

Patient dies under doctors nose, doctor gets zero.
