I thought this was pretty bad until I saw that $700,000 payday from Showtime. Plus, Showtime probably covered the lion’s share of production costs as well. All in all, Strikeforce probably made a tiny profit.

One lesson that should be learned though, is to stick to promoting fights in CA. It’s their home base and they draw really well there. I don’t think Strikeforce is big enough or known enough to venture across country yet and that gate proves it.
