First thing first, all the lists
you read that shows which league is “bigger”, the term bigger usually means the
league’s revenue in total.
In that parameter, National
Football League (NFL) is the biggest sports league in the world (also it has
the highest average number of spectators per month). It is followed by:
·
Major League Baseball (MLB)
·
English Premier League
·
National Basketball Association
·
Indian Primer League (IPL)
·
National Hockey League
·
Bundesliga
·
La Liga
(Note: Depending on websites and agencies, the list varies.)
A handful of the leagues are played
in North America. The likes of USA and Canada are rich economy where more people
can afford to buy tickets. Plus, the price of these tickets is much higher than
that of other countries’. This means that these leagues will enjoy much higher
revenue.
And this, in itself, is the biggest
reason why NFL and NBA will always rank higher when it comes to most reputed and
highest earning sports league brand of other countries.
Now the other part of your
question as to why Football is more popular, in USA, than Basketball—it’s all
in preference, doesn’t it? Why do you like Soccer more than baseball? Because
you like it, simple!
Plus, NFL – the Superbowl – is
also more hyped with high investments from the sponsors and viewers. So that
makes it a topmost name.
