Bumfights producers plead guilty - face up to 1 year in jail
 

Three 'Bumfights' Producers Plead Guilty in Calif.
Fri May 9, 8:12 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Three young men who produced the brief Internet sensation "Bumfights" pleaded guilty on Friday to paying homeless men to trade blows, charges that could send them to jail for a year.



Ryan McPherson, 19, Daniel Tanner, 21, and 24-year-old Zachary Bubeck -- who were accused of persuading homeless people to fight in front of a camera in exchange for cash, food, liquor, and hotel rooms -- each pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to promote illegal fighting.


A fourth defendant, 21-year-old Michael Slyman, pleaded guilty to the same charge in March and is scheduled to be sentenced next week.


After a preliminary hearing in January, a San Diego Superior Court judge dismissed more serious charges against the four defendants, who have also been sued for $100,000 by two of the homeless men who starred in the "Bumfights" videos.


A San Diego attorney representing Bubeck has vowed to have the lawsuit dismissed, saying that "bad taste is not actionable" and that the homeless men participated willingly.


More than 300,000 of the tapes were reportedly sold on the Internet for $19.99 each, and a Web site (www.bumfights.com) was still promoting the series on Friday.

For some reason this shit is funnier than the Bumfight videos themselves.

hahaha

What was that Bum's name again? Rufus?

Rufus is a gangster.

:1orglaugh thats great.

Would you trade 1 year of your life in jail for millions of dollars? I bet many people would happily do it.

The next question is how much of the money they made will go to lawyers and settlements with the homeless guys.

Why not give them the money $100 000..

300 000*$19.99= $5,997,000

:glugglug

will somebody be shooting and selling the content, when they get assraped in jail?

they can call it "bumfucked.com"

well I was camera guy on the Bum Hunter as you all know... so I guess now is the time to sell all my extra footage huh? who wants it/

No fucking way.

Year in Jail = ass rape and AIDS = death sentence.

That is not worth any amount of money.

Fuckers!

Maybe minus 50% webmaster share? And then the tape costs....But still some nice money:-)

Close to 6mil? Those figures have to be wrong.

Rufus the stunt bum rules!!!!

Close to 6 million is correct.

Rufus could take a beating

SHIT if they got 365 in jail that would me county jail time and early release, as the county jail here is like Holiday Inn with your very own cell. Anything over 365 days is penitentiary time:winkwink:

Thay should get a death sentence. 10 years of ass raping first, then the electric chair. Their families should be punished too..

:1orglaugh

Have fun sucking cocks in the big house. Welcome to the RISKY side of the Porn biz.

Bad boys, bad boys whatz ya gonna
Whatza ya gonna do when they come for you.

There really isn't much ass raping in prison, it's a myth. The ones that do the ass fucking decided to do it for themselves and aren't forced. Since being in there for SO long with no pussy they have to find other alternatives.
That's what my uncle told me after being locked up for 5 years.

I doubt if he gets any jail time.
I think he will walk away with probation or parole.

Is that SHIT smeared all over the walls? :throwup

What is the thrill of watching some homeless people fight? I just don't get it.

300 thousand people bought tapes?????? Were they naked ex-Playboy models who were now homeless??

WTF those fucken bums were fucken paid well for those fight. Shit with all the money they earned they bought two 40's and a tall boy so STFU. They souldnt do any time:2 cents:

I saw some of that bumfight shit on kazaa and it was bullshit...flashing a tit or two in between fights does NOT make it sexually stimulating....How anyone can associate some bums fighting with sex is beyond me...

It was stupid as hell....but stupid shit is what makes money in this world.l

They must've gotten some big exposure from those media coverage material at the bottom of the site.

It could be fake, but who cares...

It's funny how all you closet fags speak so highly of assraping.


Aquaman... Loves the Cock

KRL... Loves the Cock

lawpal... Loves the Cock

ebus_dk... Loves the Cock


(assraping is only for punk bitchez)

I dont understand what the difference between that and paid prize fighting. These guys knew what they were doing and they got paid.

It's illegal to run organized fights in the US... without a permit to do so

fuck serves them right..

All I would like to know is how come the site is still online and if I order there video will they still be able to send it to me?

STFU Pussy

AHAHAHAHA HUGE PIMPS

What would I do with another million?

millions not a million
