I actually think the race streaming will always have to be the way the go. Take the Olympics for example, EVERY event that is "contained" in an gym / arena / field of play you have to PAY to watch. Triathlon being over 5-10km of roads, even if you required to pay for finish line, you would lose out on tons of people who just line the course. Triathlon will never really be able to capitalize with "paying customers". It will almost have to be a broadcast product. I mean yes places like SL that's done in a 2 block radius coud likely have some "on site" pay to watch, but even events like ITU you have paid VIP and then 50 feet away people are watching for free.Good points. Same scenario as marathons. No one will pay to watch marathon, but they will pay to watch track meets and swim meets, because the event is contained in a defined area.
