New York, NY – May 1, 2020 - FITE announced today its newest iteration to the streaming combat sports platform, Moto FITE Klub. The event will take place at an undisclosed location on Tuesday, May 12th at 5:00pm ET/2:00pm PT exclusively on FITE Pay Per View. Moto FITE Klub, will feature the world’s biggest names in motocross and Supercross motorcycle racing, including Ryan Villopoto, Mike Alessi, Damon Bradshaw, Broc Glover, Jeff Stanton, Travis Pastrana, Ryan Sipes, Jake Weimer, Ivan Tedesco and Kevin Windham.
The first of its kind, Moto FITE Klub will feature match racing to determine the baddest dude in the world during this trying time and while the racing will be unparalleled, the charitable component will be equally as strong.
Moto FITE Klub will partner with a number of charities, including the good folks at Road to Recovery, Goggles for Docs, and many more. Whatever we can do to fight the good fight, we will do.
“We want to use this event as an opportunity to entertain sports fans and give back to some amazing charities,” said nine-time AMA Champion Ryan Villopoto. “This is an eclectic group of individuals that want to make the most of this time and provide for others, so I encourage you to purchase this event for a number of reasons.”
The live May 12th PPV event will be preceded on Monday, May 11th at 7pm ET with the Moto FITE Klub Rider Roundtable discussion with all of the riders discussing the history of the sport and what fans can expect when they reignite decades old rivalries on the track. This Roundtable event will be available for free on FITE.
This is the sport that will reignite the world of entertainment. Be a part of it.

MFK, is this something that will only be available live, or will it be archived on the app? It'll be mid-morning here in Japan when it's live, and I'm not sure I'll be able to tune in due to work.

I dont want to trash the event but it's not going to be real racing in my eyes. More of an exhibition match nobody do anything crazy kinda thing. I dont mean it to say it wont appeal to a lot of people but it just doesnt appeal to me per se.
Doing the RC school down here, being on the track with RC, Fro and Stanton was all-time and same just watching them ride.
Maybe it's cause i'm here, but there are some older Aussie legends I'd love to watch ride too Aussie legends. I'm not expecting Musquinn vs Tomac in New York, but you're not gonna see this often.
I'm more than happy to give them my $20!
From Travis's interview on Racer X:
"I want to make the point, yes, you have to pay to watch that thing on Tuesday, the racing, but the money is just going to charity."
"Yeah. At the end of the day, everyone is like, “You guys have got plenty of money.” Of course, a lot of the guys are saying, “I’d like to cover my costs if we could.” But let’s go out and let’s have some fun. If we’re going to do it where we can have other people watch, we can put a little motocross back into the system. I spent $28 at McDonald’s yesterday. I can spend $19.99 for a race, I would pay that, personally. If enough people tune in, if anyone tunes in, we should be able to raise some money.
All the gear, I had to call Red Bull and beg. I’m actually going to be able to give my Red Bull helmet up for charity, which doesn’t happen. I think I got to cut the straps off, so if you bid on that, it’s for display only. They don’t like those helmets to be out. Ryan’s got his Red Bull helmet, too. So everyone’s donating their helmet through Road 2 Recovery. The goggles go to Cary Hart’s foundation. Cystic Fibrosis gets all the gear. Chuck Carruthers is making me replica gear from kind of the one day of my entire life that I actually felt like I was the fastest person on earth that day."
We have a free Moto FITE Klub Rider Round Table you can tune into on May 11th at 7pm to listen to some bench racing and decide if you'd like to watch the following day. https://www.fite.tv/watch/moto-fite-klub-rider-round-table/2p75d/
Take a listen to that and see what you think, but you will be missing out if you don't watch on Tuesday!
