Perhaps he did expect to be able (if Blake was on Earth running the rebellion) to still be involved in that (on a strictly avaricious basis, of course, making Blake quite literally pay), but then there's that rather loud "I want to be free of HIM," to be factored into his thinking.
I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I am firmly convinced that Avon's best-case scenario would have involved leasing the _Liberator_ and his own skills (and probably Vila's skills, for that matter) back to Blake... but on his *own* terms.
A bit of a non sequitor, but does anyone else get the feeling in that scene that, what with all those questions (including at least one he knows the answer to and others he could surely work out for himself) Avon's trying to *get Orac to make the decision for him*? I almost feel sorry for the poor confused rat-in-a-box ...
He's looking for Orac to talk him out of it, I'm quite convinced. And Orac isn't cooperating...
