So, the 15 pager is "fake news." If Deegan wanted to pay his own way, he could have gone.  Thanks for the post.

The narrative certainly played into Deegans angle of creating talk and hype regardless of whether it’s substantiated.  

Sucks the Lawrence’s are once again on the receiving end of a complicated story where most won’t read into the details and will just boo at opening ceremonies because it’s easier than understanding nuance.

The brothers are not racers, they are businessmen who happen to race dirt bikes very well. Big difference.

They should be boo’d. Read between the lines, they “strategically” excluded haiden.

A bit more to it than that. Maybe read more than the headline. 

The Lawrence camp softballed it a bit. A more accurate description would probably be along the lines that their dislike for Haiden motivated their choice to deny him the financial request. 
 

The rest of the verbiage is just PR to make the Lawrence’s look better in a less than ideal situation that they thought the public would never see.

 It says the promoter thought paying a 250 rider $100,000 to race an event that is already close to sold out was not a worthwhile investment.….that’s all

They race the US series, they race MXoN, they race off season races. Not sure how you can’t call them racers yet you will call Deegs one when he skips out on the MXoN??

So yet again more unnecessary drama and bullshit lies from the drama queen deegans. No wonder brian has a tramp stamp, he and his kid act like teenage girls. They just have to force themselves to be the center of attention in every situation no matter what.

No, the just won’t pay the family that have acted bad against them, that’s it. Would you pay someone to race that acted bad against you?.

Brian Deegan is probably the best rider ever at knowing how to turn every situation into something profitable.

If the Lawrence boys want to make money they would be smart to partner up with him.

My only follow-up right now is this, this budding rivalry will put butts in stands for years-and-years to come. I need more popcorn...

Agree, it would make no sense business wise. Why would a promoter fork out an extra $100k, for any rider, just weeks before a nearly sold out event? All that would do is deplete their profits.

Well done ML for getting the facts, providing all sides, and clearing up what amounts to little more than a storm in a tea cup. Big nothing burger.

I wouldn't pay Deegan 100G either to race the 250 class against a bunch of Aus 250 riders, no offence. Now if he said he'd race 450 class I bet he would of been there

Tell me you don’t follow the racing up close without telling me you don’t follow it up close…

I'd say they are racers that dabble in business.
