If you had to pay 50 dollars for everything you watched... New season of breaking bad or big bang theory, baseball, football, NBA, Nascar... These guys are on GREED CRACK. price is right, no the price is wrong. NOT THE WAY TO GROW THE SPORT, but instead kill it or keep it flat.


19.99$$$$$$$ EVERYONE would pay it and not one person would look for a stream.

$1.04 a moto. I spend 4-5 hundred going to one race in person. $50 is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Have you guys been technologically skull fucked?

You log into a website.

Plug in HDMI into your computer, other end into TV.

Put TV on the correct input.

Push the triangle and motocross plays.

Its around $0.73 per moto.

If you dont like it spend $100 a month to get it on Cable/Dish.

I just dont see why anyone bitches about MORE exposure for the sport.

If you pay Direct $100 a month to watch the races, sounds like you now have an opportunity to save yourself some money.

Thats what i think. I already pay for NBC sports channel to a cable provider. $$$ WAY too much money dont even want to say how much! And then they want MORE money! Not happening...i just wont give a fuck. Its like being taxed TWICE on something.

The point is how can everyone charge so much per season... Who cares what you spend going to races or how much per moto it is. You can justify it all day long but that doesnt change everyone can't do this or no one will watch much and will pirate everything.....!!!!!

Honestly I liked the coverage 25yrs ago with Bailey and Eckman. All four motos in a two hour edited broadcast on the same channel. Show started and they got directly to racing. No kawasaki monster track map arrow video game bullshit. No go pro lap wasted time. No instagram pictures of people's bikes in their living room. No chasing channels and live feads all day to watch 4 motos. No $50 fees.
Just want to turn the TV on and watch a race. It shouldn't be that complicated.

Technology has not brought a better MX broadcast or much else on TV IMO.

It's because people will pay it for the convenience.

The point with the amount of money spent going to a national is to show just how cheap the subscription is. You could buy 10 subscriptions for the cost of going to a national and staying two nights.

The other thing is, don't buy it if you don't want to. If you did ask for a refund.

I agree with you about Eckman and Bailey, they were great. I do think you are forgetting it being delayed a week, being moved around for womens soccer and having to stay off the web til after getting to watch it.

I enjoy the coverage we have today in both SX and MX as well as the GPs.

Was it really a week later? I thought it was like the next day. Makes sense everything looks better thru my rose colored glasses of the old days.

Yes it was at least a week delay and it went to ESPN2 which required an add on to the standard cable subscription that usually totaled way more than $50 extra to watch for the summer. Rose colored glasses indeed.

Sure would be nice if redbull picked up the title sponsorship of the series and put. It all on REDBULLTV for free (minus redbull advertising) like they do for straight rhythm.

Maybe you are just spoiled and have it so good you cant handle paying the true cost of something when it comes to the crunch..

I know us international customers have been paying through the teeth for moto for years. But we dont mind, because its our favorite sport.

I think the NBC Gold is great. I don't have a cable because because it doesn't make sense for me to pay for every channel just to watch racing on Saturdays. Maybe because I'm part of the new generation that only watches Netflix and use AppleTV?
