No doubt there's massive worldwide appeal, but that only grows if more players from those countries are introduced. The ratio is still small, and it also depends on whether they perform in the major leagues. @ Maura - Thanks Maura! I was hoping for more Sphinns but think the guys there aren't too keen on such articles. Heh! @Steven - But the audience is still predominantly American, I believe.

Thank you for an excellent and detailed comparison! YC,

Even Americans like me who played baseball for years really don't care about the Major Leagues, but there are so many players (the best ones) from other countries that the audience is huge.

If I remember correctly (or I might be wrong) Pittsburg benefited from the revenue sharing as well? I haven't been following baseball long enough to know why Bud Selig seems to be detested so much but some of his methods seem to be working, especially seeing how baseball seems like a really conservative and close knitted community economically. @ Jaklang - Thanks for dropping by! I was slightly surprised when I read that MLB was coming close to the NFL with that number. NFL has a juggernaut of a marketing machine compared to MLB, but obviously the latter has caught up a lot in recent years. @ Jason - Thanks!

I am amazed with the $6billion number you came up with. Very detailed comparison. I admit i am a bit lost trying to visualise the NFL and MLB industry. I agree.

I wouldn't be so quick to lift up MLB's revenue sharing or competitive balance, but that could be the Pittsburgh Pirates fan in me coming out. MLB is certainly on a better path than they were (even if it pains me to say Bud Selig had something to do with it) but until NFL-like revenue sharing and competitive balance is the norm, it will still be a league of haves and have-nots. Still, the points you made apply in microcosm form to businesses, blogs and the like. Excellent read! Great article and points all around well made.
