The main reason motorsport has gone down the pan in this country is because few so people are prepared to pay to watch it. If I wanted F1 and Moto GP I'd have to have both a Sky subscription and another one to BT, something I just don't find worth the expense.
I think that long term a lot of sports are going to wake up one day and find they have become a minority interest. The short term cash from pay per view may be attractive but look at how cricket suffered when it went from free to air, golf courses are closing through lack of use and you'd have a job finding someone who can remember the last time they watched a boxing match.
