Let’s just separate this from the speculation over whether specific riders have requested “bonus” money to race the Motocross of Nations and focus on the real issue at hand:
Poll
BS poll to smokescreen for Deegandashian dodging the MXDN again this year.,
Pay the rider and team the cost of attending a race that makes a ton of money for the promoter.
Let’s break it down. What does Infront clear at the end of the day for putting on the race?
What would be there expense to cover every team and rider transport?
Instead of the riders, to the Team, so each country can pay their expenses, and then, hopefully, the rest can go to the riders

You got the wrong guy. I just think that the pay issue overall should be discussed.
Are you in some kind of competition with Hair Lip to see who can have the dumbest take on Vital?
It doesn't matter what the question is, every thread will lead back to Deegan somehow. Some people here just can't help themselves. Pretty embarrassing for such old guys. Go text your ex-wife or something else more useful
I get the distinct feeling that if you asked this question in just about any other country than the US, you’d get a different outcome.
Right, everyone gets it, you don't like the USA, it's very clear. Especially since Aus has won twice in 42 years. Bragging rights 🙄
The IOC doesn't pay either, the local Olympic federations (USOPC) give out bounties for people who end up on the podium... So if Deegan wants money he need to ask this to the people who make "Team USA" possible and that are the AMA, FELD & MXSports.
But we've gotten riders as RV2, RD5, JS7, RC4, MC2, Emig, ... who went just for pride. Same with all riders from all other countries like the Lawrence Brothers. But now this nepo baby, raised with a silver spoon wants to make money from this event?
We even know that most of the American riders put serious money into it while going for their country!
Also the greed from STAR Yamaha is sickening. 50k? Just imagine that Infront would pay all costs. What costs are we talking about? What prices will teams charge, what with the entourage because Team USA has always an entourage bigger than big...
Ha no bragging rights, I never thought I’d live to see Australia win, yet MXdN has always been my favourite race of the year, even when the US was so dominant, and even if we never win again.
It’s just that I never see money/ costs discussed so much as a determining factor, as for team US.
Most countries have their financial struggles to attend, but I don’t see riders turning down the opportunity to represent every year because of it. Which seems odd when AMA is the richest moto racing series in the world.
Infront pays teams competing in MXGP a freight allowance, they could do the same for MXoN.
Should the riders be the only ones that don’t make a profit from the MXoN?
You make a good point. Gate and merch revenue alone will probably not be enough to cover expenses for all race teams, and I am not sure if there’s a viable tv package that is paying the promoter for broadcast rights.
Fact is, it must cost teams a small fortune to send three racers and their mechanics and support to this international event. The promoter should at least pitch in something.
It is the worst I have ever seen it here, too many posters with mental issues.
The worst you have seen it on the 5 months & ~2 weeks you have been a member?
Infront giving some money back, yeah right...
When it freezes in hell.
Ever heard about capitalism and exploitation?
😄😂🤣
Not often I agree with you, but Luongo, InFront or the FIM don't do sharing....
Agreed some people don't have the mental capacity to see that this is an issue that is best for every rider....I said in another thread that whatever Monster pays as a sponsor it should all go to the riders...How many people bitching about this have contributed to RaiseItUSA for Team USA?
