TMZ paid $100,000 for the video of Ray Rice knocking out Janay Palmer in the elevator of an Atlantic City casino.

A surveillance officer who was monitoring the video footage at the casino recorded the infamous incident on his cell phone, and then called TMZ. He left a message on their tip line.

TMZ paid $15,000 for footage of Rice dragging Palmer's body out of the elevator.

The NFL claimed they were unable to obtain the footage.
