Seems to me Monster is a bunch of greedy corporate punks. I'm not a big fan of Scotts but I hope he takes Monster to the cleaners. I also hope that beer company wins their battle w/them too.

This should be good. Most of the buzz within the industry has Sepkovic(sp?) "creatively" using/spending Monster's money with his endorsement deals.

Guess we'll find out.

So I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the J-Law racing team won't be sponsored by Monster.....

Something you and I can agree on. I personally believe that you should have to be eighteen to buy that poison.

If Mark Hall, president of Monster Energy Drink, is the same mark Hall that has been racing at REM every Saturday for years, and I believe he is, then he is a true MX enthusiast, and I doubt Monster will be pulling out of MX anytime soon. Always seemed to be a good guy to me................

translation =

Sepkovic pushed all his athletes to be Monster athletes. Hollywood then, imo, allows, blind eyes, JLaws antics and problems, and doesnt even try to manage him, just profit off of him by being the bad boy, Monster says we sponsor JLaw, hes in jail, therefore breach of contract, no more money for JLaw meaning no 10% for Sepkovic . Plus, Monster, I wouldnt be shocked, recommended privately that any rider signing with Sepkovic had better be careful and open their eyes to what hes about. So douche, excuse me, Sepkovic, yells LAW SUIT and word smiths it up to look like he single handedly was HUGE in Monsters rise, not Monsters marketing, or beverage quality, or prime athlete and product placement, it was all Sepkovic, and since his golden boy is now tarnished and not a piggy bank anymore, someone has to step up to pay Sepkovic .

Any $ bets on wether or not the above is VERY close?

What happens when Monster has to pay out a huge settlement and then says..."fuck all the MX sponsorships"? Will all you guys still be "happy"?

I just think it's a bad product.
Have you ever looked at the label to see what's in it?

Hollywood took Suzuki to court and it was settled, I bet this will be the case again.
