Sponsorship revenue has nearly tripled since 2000, to $22.5 million. Advertisers like Yamaha seem to be betting that bull riding will hit the big time. They like the demographics...
...sense, or has people sport bizarre accents for no reason, I sometimes wonder if it was done as an ironic homage to genre and I just didn’t get it.
