   Seems like they are starting to pay better also. Does Elite have to report their fighter salaries? I was just curious what they payed out on their last show.

   The last EliteXC show was in Texas and the Texas board of licensing doesn’t release the numbers. I tried to get them for UFC 69 that was in Houston and they brought it before the Attorney General and decided it was private information.

   The revenue did not seem worth it, especially after the over head. I do not see this lasting very long.

    BV. You dont need to do anything with Java. Its just a flash based recorder. Maybe try and download the latest version of the flash player and see if that fixes it for you.

    [Total Gross Receipts - Total Fighter Payout] =
    Bankruptcy in the Near Future

    Too bad … Strikeforce has put together some good cards, even equalling or beating UFC 78′s weak card last weekend.
