Live Current Media, which owns the domain Cricket.com and had won the portal rights for the Indian Premier League, has raised $1.06 million via private placements with CEO Geoffrey Hampson, President and COO Jonathan Ehrlich and Chief Corporate Development Officer Mark Melville. Another tranch of up to $1 million is expected within the next 15 days. The money will be utilised to meet the payout to the Indian Premier League, and for the development of the companys Perfume.com business.

We hadn't expect much from the Cricket related businesses - the IPL wasn't operational during the quarter, and Cricket.com and BCCI.tv have only just been launched. BCCI.tv is the site for national Cricket, which hardly generates as much interest…
