Ew, parsing HTML with regex. Never a good idea.

Since there don't appear to be any handy identifiers that a parser could help you hook into, why not just preg_match("/\d+\s*[KMG]B/,$lol,$match); echo $match[0];`? Keep it as simple as possible.

Then update the regex accordingly, as I have just done in my answer. – Niet the Dark Absol Dec 02 '14 at 20:31

$lol = '</span></td>
<td width="1%" align="right" nowrap="nowrap" class="small inner" >190 MB</td>
<td width="1%" align="center" nowrap="nowrap" class="small inner" >15</td>';    

preg_match_all('/(?<=\<\/span\>\<\/td\>)[\n]?.*((?<=\>).+(?=\<))/', $lol, $cooler);

echo $cooler[1][0]; //Outputs "190 MB"
