I guess they money offers are too good for MGM to pass up?

MGM has been a disaster for decades and they've repeatedly flirted with bankruptcy.
I don't think it would take much of an offer for the Broccoli's to accept a licensing deal with a streamer, probably something like at least half the production costs (approximately $125 million) and a 65/35 revenue split in favor of the streamer until all costs are recouped.
Otherwise, they'll most likely need to sit on the film until at least 2022 and even then, there's no guarantee they'll do anything other than break even at best.
On top of that, they'd need to spend another $100 million in worldwide marketing for a film that by that time, is 4 years old.
