That is what this thread is full of.
And the bidding war will probably be on when it runs out.
Exclusive deals are made all of the time.
Didn't Reed just announce that his 22 clothing was going to be sold by an exclusive vendor?
The ufc needed there sport to grow any way possible, guys are making huge money off indorsements ect. And they needed that to draw money and a certain spotlight to the sport, now established as a major sport they inked a deal with reebok and guys are going to loose big money from having to wear a reebok outfit anytime they are on TV. So this sport is far from established so why sign exclusive deals when the helmet cam business is huge money, enough money to get a privateer through an entire sx and mx race season.
I think the powers that run mx and sx need to realize that they need to stop focusing on how much money can they make in a single season and pray to whatever they pray to that the next season goes well to and maybe make a plan of attack for a 10 year goal. Because other then some good TV packages (they are horrible in Canada) but nothing has changed and it's almost becoming stale imo.
And by into the sport, I mean putting money into the series. Not the sport in general at a local level.
But, a deal is a deal.
Pit Row
The "industry" chews these riders up and spits them out.
The riders really need to unionize or at a minimum have a Racers Association to represent them and present a united front when there are purse, safety and insurance issues.
But GoPro has a contract which it paid for. Until it expires by its terms or is rescinded it will stand.
The money that was paid for that contract was probably way more lucrative than its nearest competitor.
If there is a new camera contract when this one expires there will be a whole lot more money involved and it should at minimum be shared with the riders.
I'm not saying there doesn't need to be a change to allow this type of thing to happen, but it is in the rules at this point due to the signed contract.
You've got some stroke, band together with your piers and riders that agree with you and present your case to those that signed the contract to make changes when the current contract expires.
How much is the GoPro contract anyway?
Where does the money from that go?
