Is Motocross too cool for its own good?

I hear all the time that Motocross and FMXers should be paid more since the risk is so high. Unfortunately its not apples to apples, athletes get paid a percentage of what their sport and or team generate. In the grand scheme of things Moto is a very small market. No matter how much risk there is or how much of a bad ass these guys are, money can’t just be pumped into the sport. It has to come from revenue of the sport. I’m going to be focusing on two components that effect the amount of money the athletes get.
