PBR and the bullriders got together with the new Cowboys Stadium and decided to have the Iron Cowboy event. A little different than the regular bullriding events it was supposed to be a big, big deal for both the PBR and Cowboys Stadium. And maybe it was. But only those that went to see it and those fans that are lucky enough to get Versus TV channel saw it.
So what good was it? If only a very few of the bullriding fans got to see and since it was not televised on any of the local or sports channel it was unable to be seen by anyone that might become a fan?
I know I didn't get to see it, which means no one in the Albuquerque area got to unless they have Versus.
It is depressing that such a good sport can only be seen by those that can get Versus on Dish TV.
That is certainly not a way to promote a sport.

Bullriding VS Cyling
The bullriding is finally back on. The riders had about a 2 month break from the PBR but most of them were still competing at the less known Challenger tour events and the Calgery Stampede was held while they were off. Most of the Professional Bull Riding events are televised on the channel Versus but Versus has seemed to be not showing as much of the bullriding as they were which wasn't enough for any of the fans before. They waited 2 weeks to show the Tulsa events because of all the cycling. I don't know any one that watches or is into the cycling events. I do know lots of people that are bullriding fans. Now they are showing Indy Car Racing instead of showing the bullriding as early in the evening as they used to. Versus needs to get it together and remember that a lot of us only have their channel so that we can watch the bullriding. As it is they don't show the Friday night rounds in the events and we would love to be able to see them as well. The thing is the only thing they show on Friday night is re-runs of their hunting shows. So why don't they show the Friday night rounds of PBR. Go to www.pbrnow.com
