1 SX title and 1 MX title for 3 MX titles: for sure
Im a die hard fan.. But the intensity and feeling of winning in Las Vegas and taking a championship under the lights in a sold out stadium would be a feeling you wouldn't be able to compare it with. The celebrations and roar from the crowds is a whole lot different then taking an outdoor title.
Plus, SX title is going to bring in better sponsor deals and $$.
Supercross is bigger than both the MXGP series and the AMA outdoors for good reason. It's a much better more marketable race series.
I am old school, at this point I really don't want to trudge around in the mud or fight along the fence line to get a vantage point where I can see 1/5th of the track. Going into a stadium, especially a domed stadium is much more comfortable. I can take my wife and she has a great time, they have actual restrooms in stadiums. Spectators can see the whole track and some of the stadiums actually have good food. Like the outdoors the racing can be incredibly intense. I really enjoy supercross.
There is so much more prestige to winning a supercross title. It is by far the most important off road racing title in the world. Then again, winning a supercross title and an outdoor title trumps all.

SX is not even close to motocross so you can't compare in that way. SX is mostly jumping and who has more courage to hang it out for a short period of time.
You don't have to be in great shape. You only ride one 20 minute race. It is rarely ever hot and never rough. Not even comparable events. SX is a show. MX is a sport. Why do you think these guys do SX only???
Three MX titles in a row are better than MC's seven SX titles any day in my view. Maybe not the same dollarwise but we are not talking about that aspect. And I put a National title above the GP title still. Roczen and MM25 do also.
As well as a SX title beside his name, Travelled the world wining racers and a healthy bank account. A career locked in for once he retires with husky as well.
Kinda seems Anderson has set him self up better then any other rider.
Id take his lifestyle and career then any ones any day.
Supercross isn't just jumping, that would be straight rythm. Supercross requires precise timing, incredible corner speed, ability to jump or skim whoops, etc. All of these skills can be applied to the outdoors as well but mastering both disciplines puts the rider far ahead of his peers. The skills the supercross riders must have to be able to do what they do is incredible.
Just a show? Bah, It's hardcore racing at it's finest which is why it is more popular than outdoor motocross. This is coming from someone that has been to a lot of outdoor races throughout my life. I still do enjoy the outdoors and mad respect for the riders but I like supercross more at this point.
