MX Sports Acknowledges
Live-Streaming Failure
S
ometimes your best inten-
tions don't pan out. A prime
example of this is the failure of
this year's Pro Motocross cov-
erage on MavTV's streaming
service MavTV Plus. As many of
you already know, it didn't work
out and left would-be viewers
frustrated, including the people
at MX Sports Pro Racing who
made the deal with MavTV. MX
Sports acknowledged the failure
by issuing the following state-
ment from MX Sports Pro Racing
President Davey Coombs.
To The American
Motocross Community:
The 2022 Lucas Oil Pro Moto-
cross Championship has been
an exceptional series so far.
We've seen massive crowds at
every round, great racing on
perfectly prepped tracks, and
the competition in both classes
has been exciting and enter-
taining. The series is celebrat-
ing 50 years of AMA Pro Moto-
cross, and the 2022 season is
shaping up as one of the best
we've ever had, with one glar-
ing exception, and that is the
train wreck that's been our live
streaming package.
In our failure to have de-
pendable livestream coverage
through the first half of the
series, we have let down a large
segment of very loyal moto-
cross fans. MavTV Plus simply
did not work. The app could
not handle the global traffic
load that came with Lucas Oil
Pro Motocross, and no one felt
that disappointment more than
we did at MX Sports Pro Rac-
