Da noch weitere kosten anfielen, wie Steuern, weitere Gehaelter, weitere Reisekosten, Abschreibungen, Administrationskosten etc, und die Gesamtkosten in diesem Quartal auf $9,403,251 insgesamt kamen, machte Pro Elite XC einen Verlust von insgesamt $7,476,016, und das alleine in diesem Quartal von drei Monaten. In diesem Jahr verlor Pro Elite XC in den ersten 6 Monaten insgesamt 12,145,189.

Zitat:Mixed Martial Arts, commonly referred to as MMA, is a sport growing in popularity around the world. In MMA matches, athletes use a combination of a variety of fighting styles, including boxing, judo, jiu jitsu, karate, kickboxing, muy thai, tae kwon do, and wrestling. Typically, MMA sporting events are promoted either as championship matches or as vehicles for well-known individual athletes. Professional MMA competition conduct is regulated primarily by rules implemented by state athletic commissions and is currently permitted in twenty-one states. Athletes win individual matches by knockout, technical knockout (referee or doctor stoppage), submission, or judges' decision.
Historically, MMA events were broadcast in the United States only through pay-per-view arrangements. MMA events were broadcast for the first time on free cable television in 2004. Spike TV, a cable television broadcaster, recently issued a press release stating that it is currently broadcasting the fourth season of a popular reality television program, "The Ultimate Fighter," based on MMA training and competitions, which attracts roughly two million viewers per week. In addition, competing MMA promoters have continued to grow the pay-per-view audience for their MMA events as well as their presence on broadcast and basic cable television.
Our business plan is to capitalize on the popularity and growth of mixed martial arts in building an "Elite" fight brand, EliteXC, while also taking advantage of the Internet to capture fans, fighters and organizations in combat sports with its ProElite.com social networking site. We plan on reaching MMA fans and participants through normal marketing channels (print, television, radio) and harnessing the efficient networking available over the Internet. We are in the process of acquiring multiple on- and off-line brands to increase our entertainment properties, content libraries and tool set offerings for fighters, fans and organizations in and around MMA. EliteXC, our fight brand, produces and promotes live events featuring the top fighters in MMA while ProElite.com has created an MMA grassroots online social network. We cross-promote our Internet and live properties so that each can strengthen the other.
Our business model includes partnering with (and creating) the best distribution channels for the video content created by our live events and on-line products. The distribution channels include Showtime, CBS Sportsline, other major portals as well as additional television network and cable channels. Each live event may generate up to fifty hours of MMA video footage and we have finalized licensing deals for the right to thousands of hours of MMA and other combat footage. This footage can be edited into videos or other formats that can be sold on our ProElite.com website or used to market our fighters and future events through the ProElite.com website and other distribution partners.
Through July 31, 2007, EliteXC has promoted five events, including two events featured on pay-per-view. The most recent of these we co-promoted on June 22, 2007 featuring Frank Shamrock vs. Phil Baroni. EliteXC plans to run at least one event per month for the rest of 2007 and 2008.
ProElite.com has grown to over 40,000 registered members since its launch on February 1, 2007. ProElite.com has streamed seven live events through July 31, 2007 and has featured other fight brands in addition to EliteXC such as Cage Rage (London), ICON Sports (Hawaii), No Limits Gym (California) and Abu Dhabi (grappling tournament).
Prior to the reverse merger referred to below, we were an inactive company. Upon the reverse merger, we became the holding company for newly formed entities that
(a) organize and promote mixed martial arts matches, and (b) create an internet community for martial arts enthusiasts and practitioners. On October 3, 2006, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated concurrently between us and the shareholders of Real Sport, Inc., we issued 25,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Real Sport, Inc. As a result of this reverse merger transaction, Real Sport is now our wholly owned subsidiary, though from an historical perspective it was deemed to have been the acquirer in the reverse merger and the survivor of the reorganization. Concurrently with the closing of the reverse merger, we completed a private placement of our securities with gross proceeds of $10,000,000.
