What's the MotoGP purse money? Do we agree they risk their lives?
What's the F1 purse money?
The Shop
Please, answer two questions....one takes math, one a guess
1. How much expenses do you believe are involved in running a single SX race? Stadium rental for a week (not 1 night, you have build, press. teardown, ++), portacans, security, fencing, insurance, transportation for all of the AMA Crew, the FELD Crew, plus per diems, plus hotels/food/rentals, plus the multiple 18-wheeler trucks hauling all the gear, plus all the riggers to build it, plus the annual pay to Dirt Wurx and there is a lot more, but just GUESS what you think all that costs?
2. How much profit (including all the risks) is Feld allowed to make? Who wants to cap their earnings?
Keeping in mind, they're a multi-billion dollar company, if it's not worth their efforts, why bother, right?
So how much, is too much?
No one has EVER honestly answered any of these questions
Nobody but the promoter will know he answers, therefore, it is completely pointless to ask, however, if the promoter only has a paultry $68k left to spare to pay the riders with, they should seriously think about doing something else more lucrative.
PS - You also forgot to ask how much money NBC paid the promoter for the right to televise it etc.
You can research the rental of the stadium for a week...that's how long they have it for one event like this
Far as I know, NBC isn't paying for the rights...not long ago, Feld PAID to have SX televised, now I believe it's offered free
Still, how much is Feld allowed to make on a single event, all things considered?
https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2013/05/20/Media/Sup…
On a recent PulpMX show, Adam Stern, a reporter for SportsBusiness Journal, speculated that the new SX on NBC deal would be low 8 figures. Matthes said he felt like that was too high and guesstimated it to be more like $4 million a year.
$250,000 per event
OK, my bad
So, again, what's the breakdown and what's Feld allowed to make per event?
What's the cap?
Yeah, I'm not guessing too much
I know my numbers.
Prove that you know yours
Again, what do you want to cap Feld's earnings at? How much is making too much?
Pit Row
The fact the winner purse has not been raised every year when they raise the ticket and racer participation fees?
The racers are leaving millions on the table for the promoter because they will not stick together as one voice.
The talent is controlled like sheep. If the racers fight the promoter they can expect to be canned in favor of the B racers.
McGrath writes about this crap 20 years ago in his book, nothing has changed for a very long time.
Maybe get rid of the purse. If that's all they've got left to give to riders, might be better spent elsewhere and let the teams pay wages
Yeah, I'm not guessing too much
I know my numbers."
lol, i don't have to prove anything because i am not boldly bloviating that i know the promoters true expenses vs their income etc like you seem to be implying you do, which you don't, and that is a FACT.
"Again, what do you want to cap Feld's earnings at? How much is making too much?"
and again, that is a ludicrous question as well as a pointless one, but by all means, please continue with this, as i, and i'm sure some others, find it amusing.
.
Let's be real here, Feld is making money and they could afford to both up and better organize the purse money. Sure they got expenses, but if the money is THAT tight why dont they realize numbers? Or why dont you? You seem to know what they pay.
The real question is how Feld is able to get away paying the performers $68k when they’re directly responsible for generating millions in revenue via tickets sales, merchandise sales, consessions, Ad, TV, and sponsorship revenue. Yes it’s true they’re also taking all the risk but would be curious if anyone can think of anything analogous.
It’s tantamount to promoting a concert and offering the headliner capable of selling out Angels stadium and broadcast on Network television $12k for the event...
I wish I had some solutions I really do, but this hasn’t changed much in the 20 years I’ve been a fan, and I don’t really see it changing in the future either. Like someone else said, as long as it’s every man/team for themselves nothing’s going to change.
