big boy contract: In March 2015, Big Boy signed a three-year, $10.5 million contract with iHeartMedia. The contract gave him an annual video production budget of $200,000, four weeks of vacation, and domestic travel (including Hawaii) on a private jet. In addition, iHeart agreed to spend $1 million a year on marketing related to the show. When news of the deal broke, his former employer, Emmis Radio LLC, filed for an injunction, hoping to prevent the new contract from being signed. Emmis, who pays Big Boy $1.45 million a year, claims it should be allowed to match the offer they were trying to make. The judge ultimately ruled against Amis.
