Professional bull riders keep eyes on the PBR Trophy prize
By Robin Leach
It’s all about the coveted trophy and $1 million prize. Eight months of battling the bulls around the country in the preliminary competitions, and then suddenly all roads lead to Las Vegas for the Professional Bull Riders World Finals.
It’s the big time, and the prize is one staggering trophy. To some, the honor and glory of winning the trophy are more important than the money. To others, the $1 million prize can change their lives, relieving them of poverty and supporting their families for a lifetime.
For 45 pro cowboys, it’s a 10-day adrenaline-fueled experience here in Las Vegas, with the competition spread out over two weekends at Thomas & Mack Center.
We have three rounds under our buckles, and now a three-day break before the bucking broncos kick up their heels again on Thursday night. If it’s been tough until now, think again, because it gets even wilder and more dangerous.
The Sunday finals will be telecast on CBS and Versus, which is covering each night from start to finish. Click HERE for our Round 3 story yesterday, which now includes a full photo gallery from our contributing photographer Tom Donoghue.
