This is an old article from Hustler magazine on Bumfights, if you haven't already..you should read it. It's pretty interesting. It's alot more detailed than all the crap the media published. But if you haven't seen Bumfights...you should probally just skip this.

I wish they did some follow up articles. The media covered bumfights 2 a little bit, but that was about it. I wonder how much they've made to this day.

The last thing I read is that it was still on-going. Big lawsuits can take years and years to finish.

http://www.nbcsandiego.com/index.htmlJudge Orders Jail Time For 'Bumfights' Producers
The "Bumfights" video, in which homeless men were paid to fight and perform dangerous stunts, stunned the nation. Many viewers found the video shocking and pathetic, but 300,000 customers apparently found it to be entertaining.
Ryan McPherson and Zachary Bubeck pleaded guilty in 2003 to staging an illegal fight and were sentenced to community service and given probation.
Prosecutors told Judge Charles Ervin in January that they wanted the men put in jail because they didn't complete court-imposed volunteer work.
Ervin agreed on Wednesday and sentenced both of the men, who were taken into custody in the courtroom on Wednesday, to 180 days in jail.
