Since I know the MX media can't be relied upon for even the most elementary of investigative reporting, curios if any one here might know the latest status regarding BB4? I know he was in a contract dispute with RMATVMC but his deal only ran through 2021 so assuming he didn't decide to retire, shouldn't he finally be back to racing?

Wow, talk about an unceremonious exit for a fairly significant figure in the sport. He wasn't my favorite rider or anything but tough to argue the sport wasn't better with BB4 on the gate.

It really is a shame that he exited the sport with zero acknowledgement from either the MX or SX broadcasts, but what can they really say when he never formally announced his exit.

Similar instance with Max Markolf, who also rode for the team as an amateur. IG was all training posts, then he ghosted for a couple years, and finally gave an update saying he was out of the sport. Just seems like an oddly similar situation, how it coincidentally happened with the same team.

So you come on a site owned by "mx media" to complain about mx media?

If the guy won't return calls or put out a press release, and is in the middle of a contract dispute that will most likely head into a legal battle, what do you expect mx media to do, go through his trash?

Make up stuff?

Let it go already........ geez

The only quest left is why didn't anyone take the number 4?

not a contract “dispute”.

through the grapevine it’s a full blown legal case at this point. The team allegedly never paid him something like $900,000 dollars he was owed from the previous season.

with single digit numbers the rider has to not score a certain amount of points for a certain amount of years before it’s eligible

Nobody wanted it. The AMA attempted to contact Bagget to see if he wanted to hold onto the number and got no reply.

You are so far off its funny…They settled their issues last summer…NDA’s have been signed and Blake never responded to the AMA when asked about the #4 so it was available but nobody took it for this year…He’s retired and has decided to move on…

I liked Bagget coming up and was lucky to see him race in person when he was feeling it. He could ride with anyone when he felt good and had a damn fine career. Too bad there was that nonsense toward the end over $ or whatever but I have no complaints about his exit.

IMO his chronic sore wrist cost him many more wins.

We just had a thread about him. You should read that one for better info than you will get in this one.

I'm trying to decide which one of your comments is more baffling but am seriously having a really hard time deciding...

1) yes, why wouldn't I? Should i refrain from exercising my 1st amendment rights on a discussion board based on the ownership stakes of the forum or are you just concerned someone from the mx media might read and get their feelings hurt?

2) Ok so i guess you're under the impression journalism schools teach students to attempt to get the scoop directly from the subject of the story and if that doesn't work, just give up because there's absolutely no other methods for developing or sourcing reliable information?

I swear, only in MX would this fly... Serious question; Can you imagine the media response that would occur if a former champion and relatively big name athlete of any one of the major sport(e.g. NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, NHL etc) essentially just disappeared overnight from the league without explanation? Every journalist covering said sport in any capacity would be knocking down doors and calling every name in their rolladex trying to develop sources and get the scoop in hopes of being the one to break the story. It would take 24-48hrs Mac for every last gritty detail to be out in the public domain as front page news while running on sportscenter in a non-stop loop.

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand MX isn't anywhere close to being the NFL so am fully aware it's not a fair comparison given the discrepancy in audience and journalistic resources. That said, is it really that unreasonable for me to expect, I don't know, maybe acknowledging his absense from the sport on air during a MX/SX broadcast and/or someone in the mx media publishing a substantive article within a year or two outlining the reasons behind his sudden disappearance, ideally from both parties perspectives?

I don't know, maybe I'm crazy or have unreasonable expectations for those covering the sport as their chosen profession....

His Florida property (El Chupacabra Ranch) went up for sale on Monday. If anyone is interested for a little under 5 million.

I'm no Florida real estate expert but that price for that property and what's included with it sounds insane. Truly bonkers if someone pays anything remotely close to that.
