Of course the timing of the Pro Bowl is much different in that they play it at the end of the season.
The players in the Pro Bowl get paid. $55000 if their team wins and $33000(IIRC). So that probably plays a part in it. Even though that's just a drop in the bucket for what the majority of those guys make, money is motivation.
