Debate: Free-to-air MotoGP bigger than F1?

Would broadcasting MotoGP on free-to-air TV allow it to grow bigger than F1 and other large mainstream sports, which are now also locked-away on Pay TV in most countries?

But if so, with the money from Pay TV basically funding MotoGP, and particularly the independent teams, might the championship end up becoming 'bigger' yet find itself in a far worse financial situation?
