History of the PBR
The Professional Bull Riding organization was established 23 years ago when 20 bull riders dreamed of transforming the sport into an international event. In a little over two decades, the dangerous sport has taken the world by storm. More than 100 million fans watch professional bull riding competitions each year while attending live events or catching the action on network television. Since its inception, the PBR has given more than $100 million in prize money to the top competitors. Boasting winnings of more than $5.5 million during his career, Justin McBride is one of 24 cowboys earning more than one million by winning the event.
