Movies, Games, Websites, ... all those are doing stuff with crowdfunding isn't it a idea to buy stocks from YS or buy the World Championship rights with Crowdfunding?

“The future we see is the future we'll get.” C'mon guys lets make the future brighter for MX!

Good question

I'm not sure they have tracked down all the current participants, let alone try and purchase it.

We could buy it and run it using the vast collective wisdom here on Vital!

Yeah, that'd be fun!

* Lower the costs by cutting unnecessary staff and accommodation
* Lower entrance money to €800
* 120 participants are allowed in the qualifications - The 40 fastest go through to the race
* EXIT with the 23 year age limit. We steal the SX rule and make them a bit better.
Rule: A rider that wins a MXGP MX2 Championship will be eligible to participate in the MX2 class for a maximum of five years total regardless of what year he/she won the title. (i.e. if a rider wins the Championship in their fifth year of MXGP MX2 competition, they will be ineligible for the MX2 class regardless of points and therefore not eligible to defend their MXGP MX2 Championship title)
* Lower the fee for organizers to €400.000 + 20% profits on entrance money
€400.000 is split into 200.000 for the International Promoter (us), 120.000 Price Money & 80.000 Qualification money.
* Put an limit price on tickets. €45 ($60) maximum for an adult ticket - without camping. Enough with €55 and more for tickets.
* Start numbers: Back Oldskool, let the numbers be their end result of last year.


(PS this are some little changes, that are popping in my mind at this moment)

So do you make or lose money the first year? I assume you've crunched all the numbers.

What are you guys gonna offer?

The GPs, what do you guys think they're worth?

A few containers, a couple of tents, a starting gate.

How much would you pay to own the GPs?

Let's print our own money, too, to cover operating costs once all the real money is gone to pay YS the ridiculous premium they want and the strong arm money from Srb and the FIM shills for approving such a deal.

He's already bought it twice, and sold it once.
Remember the Dorna saga's?

25 million dollars, divided by, let's say, 2000, is what, 12,500?

You can't buy a new car for 12,500............but put 25 million under anyone's nose and see what happens.

200k + 140k + 80k = Well, it isn't 400k Mattii.

That should be no problem, the group on here always comes together as a unit when opinions or decisions are necessary.

Add a little investment of their own money and it should be no problem at all.
