Does the AMA make any money off of the MXDN? No? Didn't think so. However MXGP makes all of the money off the race why don't they fund it?
Riders are representing the AMA when they compete at the MXoN.
Strange you have no expectations of MXGP to fund this? After all they are making all the money. No other sporting event operates like this. If they did try to pull this off they would never get the athletes to show up and be laughed at for suggesting it. MXDN is one heck of a scam.
They literally just canceled the Pro Bowl game...

Historically the Olympics have been run the same way.
MXoN is a FIM sanctioned event, they set the rules. If you want it to change, petition the AMA to ask the FIM to change it. Maybe the other 124 national federations will agree.
The olympics were built on using amateur athletes. The MXDN has never used amateur athletes. They actually expect professional athletes to compete at the MXDN, not amateurs. They require teams to transport massive cargo, team members, and riders but yet compensate them for nothing even though it is a cash cow for MXGP. Why is this at all acceptable to you? The MXON will not continue in any meaningful way if MXGP continues to gouge manufacturers, teams, and riders. I would expect SMX to continue growing and pushing MXON out of favor. It was a great event while it lasted but the money grab from MXGP will end up destroying it.
There is no need for me to petition anyone, this will take care of itself.
I've had a similar idea. I called into the moto 60 show today while Zacho was on and he was having none of it lol. Ama membership renewal. Give us an OPTION to donate specifically to MXDN. Google says there's over 200k members. Idk but take a fraction of that and get a couple bucks per donor, problem solved. I'd gladly give $20 if it gets our best guys to go.
Idc what anyone says, to do it right it takes a lot of money. Yes top riders can afford it but teams have budgets and cost for shipping, flights, lodging, food etc. has to be hefty.
You don't need to donate, the AMA can afford to pay for the team...
Sarcasm alert. Obviously you couldn't be more correct. The promotors, you know the organizations that make all the money off this race, should not in any way be responsible for at least subsidizing the riders expenditures. This is a line of reasoning I just can't understand.
That's fine but I'd still do it.
Why should the AMA pay for the event, it is being held by MXGP who are also keeping all the profit from the event. Why don't you want the organizations that are making all the money from this event use some of their profit to get the riders and teams to the races. It seems you want everyone but MXGP to help pay for the riders. What a strange way to look at things.
