| Express PBR Classic Sets Gross Sales Record in Tulsa
The Express PBR Classic presented by Creek Nation Casino, part of the Professional Bull Riders' (PBR) Built Ford Tough Series presented by Wrangler (BFTS), earned the distinction of being the largest grossing event in ticket sales in the 43 year history of the Tulsa Convention Center. The standing room only crowds witnessed Adriano Moraes (Cachoeira, Sao Paulo, Brazil), the only athlete to have achieved a record three PBR World Championships, ride his way to the Tulsa winner’s circle, on July 20-22. Moraes collected $29,356 for his efforts to add to his over $3.4 million in PBR career earnings. The win marked the 34th tour victory of Moraes’ career, which leads all other riders in PBR history.
“It felt great,” said Moraes of the win. “You're only as good as your last bull ride. If I finished 3rd or 4th it wouldn't matter, but what mattered is that I rode all four bulls. If you ride four and lose, it's the bull's fault. Being consistent is the key to success. I've had my ups and downs more often recently and that's why this was so big.”
