I really thought India would be WAY higher on the list-mostly due to the IPL, a multi-billion dollar industry. I mean, Virat Kohli, the second-most expensive player in the tournament is auctioned for about $2.6 million alone and TV networks pay billions for coverage rights. But anyway, fun quiz (mostly dominated by soccer-loving countries) :D

$2.6 million isn't much. An average player is the second league of English football can go for much more than that.

Yes but the IPL runs for 6-8 weeks in the year. Add in his earnings from other T20 competitions, representative matches and endorsements and Kohli would be right up there with the highest earners in any sport

Kohli and all other BCCI contracted players cannot play in any other T20 league. Only IPL.

The very top cricket players (kolhi, Smith, Root) earn about $4m a year, which is small by soccer or American sports standards, but it's getting bigger. If England adopted a proper 20/20 league like the IPL its appeal and reach would grow massively.

IPL seems to be held back by the relatively few games played in a season. Their revenue per game is slightly higher than the Premier League but they only play 74 games compared to 380.

A little surprised to see China so low. I guess their massive spending to bring in foreign players to improve the Super League hasn't paid off yet.

Really just goes to show you how much sports can be an export (TV rights, merchandise rights, etc.).

The USA exports its sports all over the globe better than anyone by far, apparently. I was surprised how many multiples it exceeded any other country.

As a group, the top futbol/football leagues do quite well as well but I guess those countries don't have as many secondary sports to export like the USA does.

The U.S. has three separate sports leagues with revenue that is much greater than the Premier League. (NFL/NBA/MLB).

Amazingly, even the inferior U.S. Soccer League (MLS) has revenue that is nearly 1/3rd that of the Premier League.

The U.S. is big and rich.

Yeah worldwide soccer revenue is pretty similar to worldwide American football revenue but soccer revenue is much more spread out than American football revenue which is obviously concentrated in the US

USA has the NBA, MLB, NFL and NHL as well as MLS, WNBA and a few real small leagues. Each of those four top leagues would be the highest grossing in almost every other country.

Missed one... I thought huh what could it be, I think I got all the obvious ones..? I was down to very obscure/unlikely ones when time ran out. Turns out I missed my own country...

(also forgot Argentina for a bit.. All the other ones I got in 1 go, after a few random guesses I thought ow yea, but after many more random guesses the last one never came.)

Je ne sais pas si ça ne le fait qu'à moi, mais ca buguait complètement. Je n'ai eu que "Usa" "France" et "Canada" acceptés, tous les autres (Royaume-Uni, Allemagne, Australie, Inde, Italie, Chine etc. etc) ne fonctionnaient pas, malgré avoir réessayé au moins 5 fois et toujours avec la bonne orthographe??

Le quiz est en anglais donc il faut mettre les noms anglais ou une abréviation valide (USA pour United States of America). Les seuls qui passaient ont la même orthographe dans les 2 langues.
