Marc has confirmed he is not being sponsored by Monster. He will only wear what Monster pay Ducati for their riders to wear. He will not wear extra gear for more money, like he did with Red Bull.
Ducati gets Marc to get out of his Red Bull deal. I understand he is not a personal monster athlete. Ducati pays there riders to wear what they want them to wear right? Where do you think the extra money to pay Marc NOT to run anything Red Bull is coming from?? This is literally exactly how team sponsorships work. Same way James Stewart forced monster to pay a TON of money to Kawasaki for him to wear the logo on his jersey. He wasn’t a monster athlete but monster still had to a pay A LOT more to kawi to keep the team real going.
So you're saying Ducati are paying Marc to drop Red Bull? But Monster aren't paying Marc (personally), but they are paying Ducati more.... To pay Marc?
Who says Marc's being paid to not wear Red Bull? More likely it's stipulated in his contract, that he can't wear rivals brands to Ducatis current sponsors.
He knew when he signed, he wasn't going to be able to wear Red Bull, Samsung, Oakleys, etc.

For what? If anything, they are saving money. Assuming Enea twas sponsored, and Marc isn't. That's 1 less rider they are paying.
Of course there may be pre agreed increases each year etc. But Marc being there isn't costing Monster.
