If those numbers are right then they lost money. With staff, venue, fees, and ads they would be luck to break even, but they are getting closer. It was a fine event.

I think they may have had a local TV deal in San Jose and I am sure Yahoo gave them something, but shows are costly ventures and I don't think they made and money.

They also had BodogFight "presenting" the event, so Calvin probably gave them a nice chunk of cash. (The archived Yahoo version, btw, is kinda crappy. The video quality was OK, but no sound?!? At least they showed the Salmon fight first.)
