The stage is set for THE AMERICAN to become the largest, richest one-day rodeo in the history of the sport. Each one of these world-class athletes will compete for their share of the largest single day payout in the history of the sport….$2,000,000.
Be a part of history as the Top 10 contestants in the world from each event battle it out…but wait a minute we are not done…
Anyone else out there that thinks they are better than the world’s best gets their shot at part of $2,000,000. There will be five qualifiers sanctioned by the Professional Bull Riders, Pro Roughstock Series, United States Team Roping Championships, Better Barrel Racers and the Ultimate Calf Roping for each event around the country for those that want their chance to beat the world’s best on March 2, 2014.
Out of that $2,000,000, each event will pay $100,000 for first and $25,000 for second. Then there will be a $1,000,000 “side pot” set aside for the qualifiers. If a qualifier can beat all the best and win his/her event, then he/she is entitled to that $1,000,000.
RFD-TV and these sanctioning bodies are looking to revolutionize the sport of rodeo for the better. There are many rodeo events that are great attractions for fans; however, there has yet to be that “one-day rodeo” that has been able to pay out this sum of money. THE AMERICAN will open the door to a competition much like golf and tennis, where mediocrity will not be welcome for the price of victory. Every sport needs a large impact moment, and this will be that defining day for the best rodeo athletes in the world. So……. BUCKLE UP…
