It can definitely get confusing to explain. 120 BPM = 120 BPM, whether you use the 1/8 note as the beat or the 1/4 note .. BPM is beats over time (a minute) and what constitutes a beat is defined by the time signature. Time signature is more about how you are going to notate it (3/4 or 6/8) and how many beats are in a measure. (2/4, 3/4, 4/4 ..)

Anyways this might help (or further confuse) -
