On June 16, 1986, he purchased the remaining 50% from Battison. In order to make the deal work, Miller offered to forgive a $3.5 million loan he had made to Battisone and assume payments on a loan that he was using that money to pay, assume another $1 million that Battistone and a partner had defaulted on, a $5.5 million note that would be payable to StratAmerica. In addition, $2 million in cash, the use of a Chrysler New Yorker demo car for Battisone's wife and a Chrysler Caprice demo car for each year Battistone until the StratAmerica note was paid, and ten Jazz tickets until the StatAmerica note was paid were offered. Battisone demanded a Corvette and ten additional tickets but otherwise liked the deal. Miller immediately agreed. Miller's payments on debt related to his purchase of the Jazz then amounted to $333,000 per month.
