Coke also bought 17% of Monster last year so I am sure there is some directional input coinciding.

It's funny to watch how often these energy drink companies trade hands. Monster at one point was at least distributed by Dr. Pepper. At the time Coke had RockStar. I believe there was a short stint at Pepsi and I don't know who had it before Coke got it this time around.

What ever happened to RockStar? Is it still around?
I believe Rockstar is somewhat under the Pepsi Co. umbrella.

I read Chad's tweet like this:

If something happens that directly affects Monster Beverage Corp. (government regulation, people coming to their senses that Monster is horrible, etc.), then there is a good chance Moto teams may be first in line to feel the affects of a decline in sponsorship money.

I looked up F1 team budgets out of sheer curiousity last week.

A year or two ago Redbull took the top spot with 416 million Euro for ONE year of racing....granted plenty of sponsors put into that pot, Redbull had to put in a solid portion to be the title sponsor.

Point is I can't imagine companies like Monster and Redbull are all that concerned with moto affecting their bottom line...I doubt we as a sport are in their top 3 of biggest sponsorship expenditures.

I don't see Monster turning their back on the sport that gave them their original platform...me thinks Reedy is doing what he does best and has us discussing his shower thoughts...
Red bull doesn't put in a portion... They OWN not one, but two full f1 teams... And yes, they do have some small sponsors on those teams, but the vast majority of the budget for both teams come straight out of their own pockets...

As much as I admire Mr. Reed for what he's accomplished, I get tired of his and others' cryptic crap stirring. I come from a time when if a dude had something to say, he just said it. This high school girlish style of communication where one throws a rock into the pond and sits back to see what the ripples pull in is ridiculous.

You got something to say, just say it. Otherwise, zip it. Rant over.
His post really wasn't very criptic this time.

Yes Rockstar is still around they sponsor the Star Racing Yamaha team and they have a global partnership with Husqvarna.

If you have a look at the stock market monster went from $140+ per share and has now free fallen to around $45 per share, this means they may need to tighten the spending and I reckon motocross teams could be first towel the pinch of reduced budgets or no budget at all

They are not struggling it is just because they recently went through a 3-1 stock split.

I would think the motocross/bmx/skateboarding demographic is better for Monster than the Nascar demographic.

I always thought Dr. Pepper was part of Coke since its distributed through Cokes network?

It's been 10 years since I worked for Coca Cola. Back then, everything was regional. In the Southwest region where I'm at, Coke almost always distributed on their own and Pepsi and Dr. Pepper would co-distribute. I think up north, and in more rural areas they all somewhat cooperated with each other to help deliver and merchandise stores. Coke has always had the largest market share overall but in different regions, Dr. Pepper is more prevalent.

The energy drinks were the most interesting to watch. It seems like one day Dr. Pepper was distributing Rock Star, and then we had a meeting where Coke was going to start distributing. There were a few other high profile energy drinks floating around at the time also like Full Throttle I believe that got handed off between the drink brands a few times also.

No clue how things are run now days.

No need for worry. They cleared over $500 million in profit last year. They've got plenty of money to burn.
Are you sure thats right? Because thats the budget for an average F1 team for 1 year.

Dr. Pepper/Snapple Group were the original company to bring Hansen's/Monster to national distribution. Then Monster dicked DP/SG and went to A-B Inbev distribution. That pissed off DP/SG immensely and to this day, they've been trying to push their Venom brand to no avail. Pretty sad really.

Even better.

If they toss around that kind of money on a yearly bases, we as a sport are just a drop in a giant bucket for them.

Doesn't nascar already have enough money in it? I mean Jesus Christ.. First of all I don't understand how a sport where guys race in roll cages around a course that's only left turns gets to be more popular than a sport where guys are flying through the air (sometimes sideways) over 80 foot triples, blitzing whoops etc.. Our sport is in a crisis and it needs as much money as possible to sustain. Monster being the title sponsor of the most popular series of the sport should know this.

Because everybody has a car and only around 4% of the population is interested in powersports.

I haven't done any research but I'm guessing that's $500 million after all expenses.

True on the big split, but after adjusting for that....stock was at $54 in August 2016 and today it's at $44....20% drop.

The part where even the enthusiasts (as I assume the Vital mx community would be considered) in our sport don't know if the title/lead sponsor of not just one, but multiple factory teams is even still in existence. No wonder sponsors are running away from the sport . I mean, its a huge waste of money if that's what level of recognition it buys.

Probably a brain lapse on my part.

Sounds like you get offended at things easy.

Which sponsors are running away?

I'm not offended. And I'm not singling you out in any way, but reflecting on the marketing cache our sport currently has, as reflected in this anecdotal sample. Among recent defections have been some large identity brands like Dodge, Nike, and DC.

Got it.

I simply don't drink energy drinks. Last time I had anything, it was red bull and it's been more than 5 or 6 years since then. I've never tasted Monster or any other energy drink. I stick with coffee for my caffeine kick. I hardly pay attention to the energy drinks in the industry.

Please don't think I'm against meat. A nice peace of meat with fries are my favorite meal any day, any time. But WHO have proven more then once that some cancers can be linked on eating red meat quite often. Also we've gotten dioxins in chicken in the past and stuff like that. But people mostly don't care because if you wanna live true all those recommendations you better stop breathing.

My girlfriend owns a few 7-Elevens, I watch the Monster sales at them frequently and the average is around 1000 cans per month at each store... Totally blew me away! I haven't payed much attention to the other drinks but the volume that is sold is crazy..

Or maybe they've decided to trim budgets among their moto teams without that happening.
