FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CBS Network Television to broadcast Professional Bull Riders action three consecutive weekends
The PBR's 15/15 Bucking Battle featuring $25,000 Bad Boy Mowers Bounty Bull Bushwacker will air on CBS, Saturday, March 29
PUEBLO, Colo. - The Professional Bull Riders popular 15/15 Bucking Battle, featuring ESPN The Magazine's "baddest body in sports," Bushwacker, will air on CBS Network Television for the next three Saturday afternoons, starting this Saturday, March 29, at 1 p.m. ET.
The 15/15 Bucking Battle is a special round of competition pitting the PBR's Top 15 ranked bull riders against the Top 15 ranked bulls. Amongst them for the next three weekends will be Bushwacker.
The two-time PBR World Champion Bull is retiring after the 2014 Built Ford Tough World Finals in Las Vegas on Oct. 22-26. He is currently in pursuit of his third world championship title.
On his way to Las Vegas, Bushwacker will make stops along his 2014 farewell tour in Fresno, Calif. (March 28-29); Boise, Idaho (April 4-5); and Billings, Mont. (April 11-13). Each weekend he will buck during a 15/15 Bucking Battle. As the best bovine athlete to ever compete in the PBR, the lucky rider randomly drawn to take on Bushwacker each weekend will have the opportunity to win the Bad Boy Mowers Bounty Bull Bonus of $25,000.
In Fresno, L.J. Jenkins is that rider. Jenkins has attempted to ride Bushwacker once in his career. In 2012, Jenkins made it to the 2.97-second mark before Bushwacker tossed him to the dirt.
This Saturday will be the first of three opportunities for fans to watch Bushwacker on CBS Network Television.
