You either have a massive amount of air, or a bad master cylinder.
Fill the master cylinder. "Crack" open the bleeder valve on the caliper, and let it drip down into a catch can through a short piece of tubing (over the bleeder screw). This will bleed out most of the air. After a period of time (an hour or two), try to do the bleeding proceedure again. You may have better success. Master cylinders on bikes (and quads) don't move much fluid per stroke, and therefore are sometimes difficult to bleed after being drained.
