I don’t ever see Feld putting up a large purse for all of the riders in the night show when it’s the top 10-15 that is bringing in the $$$
I’m thinking if Anderson wins the title (the way the riders are dropping every week nothing’s guaranteed) he would surpass Eli in $$$
Means the championship is getting tighter.
From basically 1990-2014 there were 2-3 guys that were going to be up front EVERY weekend no matter what. Didn’t matter what the track was like. They were always there. We don’t have that in the premiere class anymore. Sure, when Tomac doesn’t go down, he’s there, but how many years in are with him in the big bike class and 0 championships in SX. There has been zero consistency with the cream of the crop. Dungey was the last one. The flamboyance and stuff isn’t there either. The racing and personalities are just dry nowadays.
I’m definitely looking forward to AC and Justin Hill move up. AC will be great for the class. The kid has all of it. Super talented and funny. Our sport needs that as much as it needs anything to else.
You guys jerk off for Hannah, but cannot stand a bit of bar banging...strange crowd.
Here, let me help you...
Anderson: 181
Tomac: 116
(65 points back)
Now, go have a Nice Day.
(Edit: my math is suspect at best)

The Factory Riders each have their own contract.
Currently Tomac might be earning more for his wins than Anderson but come the end of the series if Anderson grabs the title he'll earn more than Tomac between his race bonuses and championship bonus.
The question was for the entire season not race wins.
Whoever wins the series will be gettin paid. Not the guy that won 9 rounds and DNFs a few here and there.
1.5 mil for a title seems a bit high unless you're adding in personal sponsor bonuses into that amount. Most contracts I've seen list 500k for 250 titles and 1mil for 450 titles...I have seen 750k for a 250 title once, that was J-Law's contract.
Interesting though, is riders don't always have race-to-race bonus contracts. For instance, Carmichael's own admission is he rode for title only bonuses at Suzuki, no race bonuses.
Anderson was won three races, finished third in two races, and finished second in one race...he's been in bonus pay area six times.
At this point and based off the average numbers I hear for pay on the podium spots...I'd say Anderson has probably made a little bit more money in terms of race bonus pay than Tomac has this season.
As a note, I did a rough estimate without including heat bonuses as the amounts I've seen for those vary a ton and I've seen deals without them.
