How about an 18 round SX season(12 in the US/6 in the EU) and an 18 round MXGP series(12 in the EU/6 in the US) where the schedules don't clash and we can see the best in the world racing each other all year long?
World peace?
We can't even get dirt bike racing squared away...
Convenience of a stadium seat???? Paws in the dirt watching the real show!!!
Red Bull Annual sales - 6.6 Billion
Monster Annual sales - 2.7 Billion
There is zero truth to this.

Red Bull sponsors all 12 rounds of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross as well as the Loretta Lynn's AMA Amateur Nationals. They have for the past half-dozen years.

I work in mma and Bellator and UFC compete similarly. pay the riders.
If MX Sports wants RD to compete in their promotion / series they should contract him to do so. That can be an exclusive contract ( meaning he can not compete for another promotor ) or an open contract. It could also be a multi event contract ( ex. 6 MX Races 2017 )
Riders, use this as leverage to get the promotors to finally pay you to be their entertainment and in their series.
It is highly likely MX Sports makes less as an entity than Feld, so they will have to be creative in how they compete for talent.
AMA nationals have been gone for years.
France family bought the series and named it AMA Pro, but it's not AMA it's really DMG.
The National series is leased from DMG to MX Sports.
France and Monster can do what ever they please with the series, scary stuff.
From past scenarios it doesn't look like France and Feld are the best of bro's, but if Feld can outbid MX Sports and take the National's away from MX Sports, Feld would own USA Moto and SX.
It was once bad ass to be an AMA Pro, now you are an DMG Pro and you won the DMG series with the band aide name AMA Pro stuck on the trophy.
AMA was very stupid to sell the series to France, but someone got paid huge.

When it comes to racing, Americans simply don't get it. Somehow, a mentality evolved that racing belongs in a stadium, where people "sit up high" where they "can see the whole track," same as if they were at a football game. So what've we ended up with? Oval tracks and the like, meaning ...
• NASCAR (shit)
• Indycar (shit)
• Sprint cars (shit)
• Supercross (shit)
• MotoAmerica (primarily a road-racing series, but shit anyway)
• IMSA sports cars (primarily a road-racing series, but no one cares)
AMA outdoor motocross may be the ONE quality racing series we have.
So what do the Europeans have?
• Formula 1
• The 24 Hours of LeMans (and the World Endurance Championship)
• MotoGP
• MXGP
End of story.
Motocross will continue on at pro level anyway. things might just be a little different. And different could be good, ya never know...maybe it saves the sport...who knows.
As far as the other post about the factories not ponying up the cash to go to Europe for a couple months if they drop their outdoor programs completely they could do it. Satellite teams, privateers bye bye
Money talks and bullshit walks and there is soooo much more money to be made in SX...for the Suits that is we fans are going to get the shitty end of the stick. Sadly the Nationals will go away eventually just because of the money.
The money rules so don't fool yourself into believing these suits even care about the MX fan they know they already have you no matter what sort of shitty production they provide because you are a fan and have no other means to watch. They are not marketing to get people into the sport they are marketing to get suckers into a stadium seat to watch a spectacle.
If you look up the history of SX you will find it was started by a concert promoter who wanted to use motorcycles as entertainment.
He had no intention of building a competitive racing series he was looking to make big bucks combining Concerts with live motorcycle action...what he wanted to do was what TP 199 does with the Nitro Circus but at that point in time that type of riding was not yet born.
He brought in a partner Micky Thompson and then had him and his wife killed nice guy he is still serving time in prison..
""It was so different than any other form of racing and it was major entertainment," said White who owns and operates The Early Years of Motocross Museum in Villa Park, CA. "The dealer that sponsored me in the beginning, Southland Cycle Center in Garden Grove, would hire a bus and fill it up with customers to drive up to the LA Coliseum. By the time we got there, we were all 'beer'd up'."
Supercross was nothing short of spectacular and White gives a lot of credit to Goodwin hiring Larry Huffman as announcer.
"Larry got it. It was about entertainment and only the real traditionalist's didn't buy into this new form of motorcycle racing," White said."
There you have it just beer'd up entertainment and will kill the Nationals eventually just a matter of time...and money.
