Winning a Supercross main event pays about $14,000. So how do the top riders end up millionaires and who's actually getting rich off the sport?

Follow the money and Supercross stops looking like a sport. It looks like a business.
Here's the full breakdown: the company that really owns it (Feld Entertainment the same people behind Monster Jam and Disney On Ice), the three streams that pay for it (tickets, Monster Energy sponsorship, and the NBC/Peacock TV deal), and the twist most fans get wrong; how a media-rights negotiation invented the $10 million SuperMotocross championship.

We break down what a factory contract actually pays, the six-figure win bonuses nobody talks about, contingency money, and why a privateer can spend a fortune just to keep up.
