Congrats on the purchase. But perhaps it is your reading comprehension that needs work because the main complaint I’m reading is the fact that next year it will be $30 a month.

How are people missing the multiple posts here saying there is a coupon code to get it for $6.99 a month?
You obviously haven't tried to use it. "I read it on the internet, it must be true"... Jesus

What makes you think they are partnering with FLO again next year? Did they say this is anything more than a temporary patch to get through the end of the series? Hopefully MAV will have their shit together before '23 nationals.

From their site:

At this time, only new, live MAVTV Plus programming will be available on FloRacing. FloSports will communicate if and when MAVTV Plus archived races and other VOD content will be available."

I guess that means no replays of the races thus far.

It sounds like FloRacing won't even have replays available of the remaining races. I think that points towards having replays posted on YouTube at a later time, at least for this year.

What I really don't get is why RacerTV doesn't do the production and streaming instead, it has always worked fine for the amateur events they do.
American Motocross is the official channel of AMA Pro MX and all the motos have been posted there.

I don't see that changing.

With all the SX only contracts, the new SX series attracting guys, and now this bullshit. Man it seems like the outdoor pro series is sinking. I sure hope not but it kinda feels like it.

Mav’s performance so far has just been straight up fraudulent. Can’t wait to hear what the “journalists” being paid by them have to say

So the journalist who made a career out of“calling it as is” when it comes to riders, safety, Luongo, manufacturers, team personnel, etc should be radio silent on this because they don’t know what’s going on, even though their boss is in charge of the fiasco?

Makes sense

The press release says all MavTv Plus content is going to Flo Sports. Not just MX. but all content.

Highly doubt MX comes back to MavTv next year. Looks like they have admitted defeat. Not sure if other subscribers of like dirt track racing for example, are moving to Flo Sports. But that sorta sounds like it.

Steve just explained the situation pretty well in his moto60 show, so he clearly had some info on what happened.

Didn't DC say MAVTV was the only or best option? If it was, then there's a good chance it'll be on MAVTV again next year, just streamed on FloSports/FloRacing like they're doing for the remaining rounds this year.

Maybe they'll introduce a monthly plan to strictly access MX. Hopefully that's the case because at $30/month a lot of people won't pay that to watch MX racing.

IMO, they need to cater to each individual sport and offer a pass for each of them as well as a subscription for everything that airs on there if someone wants that package.

They should do exactly that. $5-7 per sport and $20 or so for an all inclusive package. ($30 is still a big ask unless there are some truly high viewer/high dollar sports on there)

Also, those who sign up for a single sport should be able to view ALL content for the first month. It would be a great way to expose folks to their other offerings and rope some premium subs.

That's what he said at the time and getting FLO to do it for the same price as MAV in short order, in my opinion, is a great move as it will solve all the streaming issues that people had with the MAV app. It gives MAV the time to resolve all the issues and hopefully better service for next year....DC and company did not deserve all the hate they got in this thread because people were having a hard time comprehending what was actually being said...end of the day we are getting a better streaming service for the exact same price as what we all were paying for the MAV + app....next year is next year...

We've yet to see if it's "better" but we are about to find out, aren't we? My MavTV experience was ok except for crap image quality, the abysmally long time it took to post the replays, commercials/features during racing, and some production issues.

I still can't understand the thought process for all the hate...they are doing what everybody wanted and solving the MAV+ streaming issues by moving it to another service that has great reviews and quality streaming, they made it extremely easy to switch over for no additional cost...but yet everybody wants to jump on the mob mentality train and burn them at the stake....The only mistake they made was the explanation of what they were doing was way over the typical vital members comprehension level...

In a ideal world, we pay and we get qualitative life content available for all fans all over the world. This is how it works with MXGPTV but they had their share of hick ups in the past too, but this year I was gladly surprised by the Isle of Man TT live coverage. The normal price around 22 euro, the races live and on-demand, emails with new time schedules and so on. The first day they had hick-ups and the fans emailed them all the hick-ups they had and the following days everything run smoothly. To me it was the best 22 euro spend for watching live racing. Why? Quick problem solving by listening to the viewers and reasonable price.

The German ADAC series has also live stream coverage and this one is free of charge. Would I pay for German motocross? Probably not, but I'm watching when I've time to this stream because it's free and assuming I'm not the only one like this, the ADAC Masters are getting more eyes on their riders, partners and sponsors.

Now comes the part where I can't believe that Davey Coombs can't put something like previous together, he probably misjudged MAVTV as partner and took them as partner because of their TV network, knowing that television is still a big part of the audience. I'm a firm believer that the AMA Nationals on Twitch & Youtube could be streamed (with commercial breaks) for free and for us diehards on a other platform, I'm not going to get too technical but it seems that DaCast and Zype are solid. About TV-rights the biggest question is: Is there a place where AMA Motocross could fill 2 hours: With a five to seven minute recap from moto1 and going to moto2 for both 250 and 450 makes that you can draw a different audience then on the streams. Thinking outside of the box with Rev'n or Stadium TV.

Just to rest my case: It can't be, and is a little disgrace that it's easier to watch the Indian Supercross championship than the American motocross championship. Also the 150 euro for the Pro Pass from Flo Racing is a little high knowing that for the F1 TV Pro Pass what includes F1, F2, F3 en Porsche Supercup, you pay 65 euro.

From what I gather, the MAVTV app has sucked for years. I personally don't see them resolving their issues unless they build a brand new app.

The cost to do that might not be worth it, so streaming all their content through the FloRacing platform could be a permanent solution.

I think some people are expecting a bump in the quality of the broadcast with this move, but that's the not case.

Better platform, same broadcast.

Yep been the same broadcast team and equipment for years so that quality will not change....my understanding is the the MAV+ app was fairly new and not the same as the previous MAV app...time will tell on whether they get this sorted out before next year.
