OK, I was talking with my wife this morning, and showing her the latest Eli photo where he had 13 Monster logos on his ride, I started telling her of past title sponsors, i.e. Miller HighLife, Coors, Camel, EA Sports, and now Monster. Each, save for EA Sports, is not the healthiest of products, and ultimately reach their demise. So what industry could be a potential next step as a title sponsor for the sport. Don't read any negativity into my post, I like that Monster is dumping tons of money into our sport, it's just that history shows there will be a next step. I just hope it's someone with big pockets.
The Shop
It's been what, almost ten years they've been funding a decent amount of the industry.
Sending to China for $24 a bottle
Or Coke or Pepsi
Like MMA, but every booger pickin moran you see wearing Affliction shirts is some crazy stuff.

I remember hearing numbers thrown around back in 2012 & it didn't seem like a ton of money for what Monster got; however, that was back when "Speed Channel" was covering things and CBS showed a few "live to tape" events...Feld has taken the TV pkg a long way since then.
So, I'm guessing Feld see's the value of the series "Title Sponsor" going up and with their latest demo's they may have the ability to draw broader interest from companies interested in the new/expanding exposure Feld has achieved.
But, I could be wrong.
If Feld is able to continue the growth of the TV package, you could see some big boys brought in that are typical of other mainstream motorsports. That's where I'd bet.
- Insurance
- Telecommunications
- Pharmaceuticals
- Banks
Ironically, 3 of those 4 industries do more damage to society than the energy drinks.
I remember Vitamin Water dabbing into the sene when it first started out so I wonder if a bigger company like Gatorade or something would ever think about it? Do you think one of the bike manufacturers would ever be the title sponsor?
Interesting question, for sure.
FMF atlanta supercross round
Fox San Diego supercross round etc...
In all honesty, who knows???
Hopefully monster sticks around for a bit longer.
