'For now, the National Football League is doing quite well. The league brings in an annual revenue of $9.5 billion. To put that number into perspective, Major League Baseball, the second-highest grossing league in the USA, had an annual revenue of $7 billion in 2012 and the NFL more than doubles the National Basketball Association and their revenue of “just” $4 billion' |
I read an article in the last couple of months mentioning baseball's population and continue revenue. I can't find it, but there was no way Baseball is below #2.
Here's a current Forbes article on revenues

I find it funny anybody thinks Golf and Tennis is more popular. Are you kidding me? Tennis just seems to be a blip. Soccer!!! Only if you're not from North America.
