He\u2019s been the $100,000 winner at the Maloof events for the past three consecutive contests, but he\u2019s signed on exclusively with Rob for the pro tour that hits our Thomas &#38; Mack Arena on Sept. 25. Rob promises the world\u2019s best skateboarders competing for the most prize money in history, with a real-time scoring format in which every trick counts. . . . However, Joe Maloof, who with brother Gavin runs the Sacramento Kings, and George Maloof, who runs the Palms, are now offering a $1 million cash bounty. Fans say it\u2019s aimed at keeping Chris on their team. The first skateboarder to win four consecutive $100,000 Maloof Money Cup events gets the $1 million payday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Never really thought we&#8217;d see the day that skateboarding would make the Lifestyles of the Rich and Vegased.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Link: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lasvegasweekly.com\/blogs\/luxe-life\/2010\/sep\/08\/maloofs-1-million-skateboarding-prize-raises-few-e\/\" target=\"_blank\">Las Vegas Weekly<\/a><\/strong><strong>]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robin Leach has obviously traded his &#8220;champagne wishes and caviar dreams&#8221; in for something little more downscale as he uses his column in Las Vegas Weekly to discuss the million dollar &#8220;battle&#8221; between the Maloof Money Cup and Rob Dyrdek&#8217;s Street League.
