How much money did Ty Besson make from the "Bumfights" videos?

... unfortunately Bumfights is a best-selling video, the brainchild of a group of young film- makers callling themselves The Bumfight Krew (BFK). This foursome of American "filmmak- ers" aged 19-25 pay homeless people to beat the tar out of one another so that they can film it— grossing more than a million dollars over the web in the process. Soure: rdcrd.com/PDF/RantReview1.pdf The first video, "Bum Fights," grossed over six million dollars in one month, and the more recently produced videos continue to bring in profit at the "expense of the homeless people who are exploited and aren't paid one cent," said Michael Stoops, acting executive director for the National Coalition for the Homeless. http://www.thestreetspirit.org/September2005/bumfights.htm That's as far as I intend to look into this.
