In a standard bullfight there are three matadors and each kills 2 bulls. That is a total of six bulls. At times, however, there will be only two matadors and each will kill 3 bulls. This is called mano a mano. Even more rare, a particularly popular matador may fight 6 bulls alone. In any case, six bulls are the standard. Some smaller venues with less resources may have fewer animals and fighters.

How do you say bullfighting in Spanish?
corrida de toros-means running of the bulls'Torero' or Toriando means bullfightingClarification:Torero - someone who fights a bull, including the matador, banderillero, picador. All of these are toreros but only one is the matador.Corrida de toros does, literally, mean 'running of the bulls' but is actually the term in Spanish for bullfight. Running of the bulls frequently brings on visions of Pamplona, Spain. It is not the same. What is done in Pamplona is the 'encierro' or penning of the bulls. It has the purpose of moving the bulls from the corral to the bullring a few blocks away.

Anyone can participate if they are crazy enough to risk being trampled and gored.

How many bulls did the famous bullfighter El Cordobes kill in his bullfighting career?
I can find no lifetime statistics but I did find some other information that gives you a bit of an idea of how popular and in demand he was in his hay day.In 1965 he fought in 111 corridas, breaking the single-season record of 109 established by Juan Belmonte in 1919. In August 1965 he killed 64 bulls (a record for one month) and is believed to have been paid 35,000,000 pesetas (about $600,000).In each corrida (bullfight) a matador usually kills 2 bulls. So, in 1965 he killed at least 222 bulls. He was active as a matador for about 4 decades so one can get an estimate of how many bulls he killed during that time. He retired in 2002.
What is the average length of a bullfight?
It can take many years and a considerable amount of money to become a matador. Most start in their teens or even earlier. They begin as a becerista - one who fights calves. At this stage the person may actually have to pay to fight. Once they improve they become a novillero - one who fights bulls that are not yet the full four years of age required for a matador. As he gains experience and a following he may take the alternativa or graduation to the rank of full matador de toros under the sponsorship of a veteran matador. Then he is eligible to compete with other full matadors in major bullrings if he can get the contracts. At this stage, some find that they are unable to find much work and may renounce their alternativa and return to the rank as novillero where they may find more work but less money.
