After reading your comment, I went and amended the post:
When speaking of (signing away) the shanshu here, I mean that Angel gives Spike his *destiny*, not the (possible) reward. When they fight in 'Destiny', it's not just for a reward, it's for who gets to be The Champion.
Because I also love Connor as Angel's shanshu.
in addition to the episode in which he won a life for Darla only to have it denied to her directly for some reason that eludes me at the moment She'd already been given life once (when W&H brought her back). So, Angel had won a life 'for' her, but it was unused. And hey presto - Connor! :)
