Man vs. Beast: PBR Finals Right Around the Corner
The toughest sport on earth and America's original extreme sport, the Professional Bull Riders Association, is only 2 weeks away from their World Finals held under the bright lights of Las Vegas. The PBR Built Ford Tough World Finals returns to City Of Lights for a 5-day show November 2-6th. The Finals will showcase the top 40 bull riders in the world pair up against the fiercest of bucking bulls. With the same end goal in mind, the action is sure to entertain and keep fans on the edge of their seats. All will be competing for their share of the $2.3 million in prize money that is up for grabs.

This adrenaline charged sport has one of the broadest viewer-ships on TV's across the continental U.S. and in 2 weeks, 99% of those super-fans will be punching their ticket to Las Vegas, mixed drink in hand, ready for some action-packed, adrenaline-junkie-kind of fun at the PBR World Finals.
For many fans, the PBR World Finals is a week that they look forward to the other 360 days of the year. Bags packed, PBR gear on point, fans will head to the new home of the PBR World Finals, now held at the brand new T-Mobile Arena.

During their 5 days in Vegas, the top 4 bull riders will all try to ride their hearts out in hopes of receiving the $250,000 as the PBR World Finals event winner. Last year, Cooper Davis, who is currently ranked #2 in the world standings left Vegas with a check of $250,000 in hand. This year, the field is wide open. Look for a more in-depth preview on FloRodeo soon.

In addition, to the event winner, one bull will receive $50,000 as the World Champion Bull and then, one lucky man will become a millionaire in 8-seconds, receiving a $1 millionaire bonus as the overall 2016 PBR World Champion. Last year, fan favorite J.B. Mauney from Statesville, North Carolina was crowned the PBR World Champion, his second PBR World Championship. Currently ranked #3, the 29-year-old has been riding pro for 11-years and has years of experience ahead of Davis and the #1 ranked bull rider, Kaique Pacheco. Both 22, Pacheco and Davis have their eyes on the prize this year going into the finals and with a 2x world champ hot on their heels, could make for an interesting 5 days in Sin City.
