New York Fan Favorite – American Bull Rider J.B. Mauney - Returns as
PBR’s 2013 World Champion
NEW YORK – New Yorkers will be donning their best western fashions when the Professional Bull Riders’ Built Ford Tough Series returns to Madison Square Garden with the Monster Energy Buck Off from January 3 – 5 to kick off the 2014 season of “America’s fastest growing sport” (Forbes.com). Tickets are on sale now.
American bull rider J.B. Mauney, a New York fan favorite, returns to Madison Square Garden as the 2013 World Champion after a dramatic, heart-pounding finish at PBR’s 20th Anniversary World Finals in Las Vegas vs. the two-time, back-to-back champion, Silvano Alves of Brazil!
The race to the 2014 World Finals starts in New York City as Mauney and Alves, two athletes at the very top of their game, look to continue their intense competition for another season!
During this three-day event, the Top 35 bull riders in the world will face off with foes nearly 100 times their weight in sinewy brawn during 8-second battles where only one athlete will be left standing. The Monster Energy Buck Off begins Friday and Saturday, Jan. 3 and 4 at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, Jan. 5 at 1 p.m.
In 2013, New York’s Monster Energy Invitational drew more than 43,000 fans to Madison Square Garden to set a new attendance record for the three-day competition.
The bull riders will face one bull each during Round 1 on Friday, Round 2 on Saturday and Round 3 on Sunday. Following Round 3, the top 10 to 15 riders with the highest cumulative scores on at least two bulls will advance to the Built Ford Tough Championship Round that same day. The overall event winner will be the rider with the highest-combined score from all four rounds, earning at least $30,000 for first place.
The 2013 BFTS season, Robson Palermo captured the New York PBR event win after winning the 2012 PBR World Finals event the previous October. PBR World Champions include Silvano Alves (2011, 2012), Renato Nunes (2010), Kody Lostroh (2009), Guilherme Marchi (2008) and Mike Lee (2004).
New York City will be the first of 27 stops on the 2014 PBR Built Ford Tough Series schedule. The series also will travel to Chicago, Anaheim, Calif., and Dallas on its 18-state tour, culminating with the PBR Built
Ford Tough World Finals in Las Vegas on Oct. 22-26 when the 2014 PBR World Champion, the bull rider who amasses the most points during the 2014 season, will receive the coveted world championship belt buckle and $1 million bonus.
