It is relative.

I wouldn't sneeze at $2 mil either but for Rossi, it equates to less than 10% of his annual income.

It's just another drop in the bucket.

Hey, cool, I just lost over 10% of my income. Sweet.

I still have a job...which is more than I can say for some of my now 'former' collegues.

That's awesome. I bet there will be a shitload of 46 M's everywhere.

Wonder what this means for Kawi?

Cool, I wonder if this means we can expect to see a bit more Rossi advertising in the US. Beyond motorcycle mags and stuff like that. I feel like I see Monster Drink ads everywhere.

The real question is with the global recession, will anyone still be racing in motoGP besides yam and duc?

I wonder what it means for Hopper. from what I've read this was kind of his "ticket" to ride... the money that monster brought. now that they've got advertising on the G.O.A.T. why would they fork over money to get John a ride when he had such a horrible year last year... my guess... they wouldn't and won't.
