There's a massive difference between revenue and viewership. Also, these figures are a bit weird since they are just based on the "NFL" company, which is pretty much the ONLY provider of American Football in the world, this says a lot in itself. There is obviously much more money spent on Cricket and Soccer than on American Football totally. Check out this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-watched_television_broadcasts#List https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-watched_televisio... NFL doesn't come anywhere near the amount of viewers for soccer or even cricket OR badminton. BILLIONS of people watch the World Cup and Olympics, the super bowl attracts about 115M. The soccer world cup had 3.5 BILLION. Do you really think more people spend money on the NFL than the total world spend on soccer?
