MLB actually still has significantly higher revenues than the NBA, albeit with twice as many games.

If anything, the way we should talk about sports in America is that the NFL is the Big One, with MLB, NBA, and NHL being the next three.

Soccer's not even remotely close to being in the discussion.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Dang I remember when hockey was huge here for like 10 years. Spent half my life thinking of it as The Big Four. Nowadays Average Joe hands me his Blackhawks credit card at work and I wonder when was the last time he watched a hockey game.

There is basically no Hockey coverage where I am at, despite being surrounded by big-name teams.
Four of which are part of The Original Six. At that's without mentioning all of the other teams.

im actually a bit surprised how low Chinese basketball is. I would have guessed 2-3 billion in revenue for them.

Baseball is still a pretty popular thing. It's big enough that that a movie studio believes it was worth doing a viral horror movie promotion

They watch the NBA the same way Americans watch the Premier league instead of MLS.

NHL being the next three.

NHL is nowhere near being in the Big 3 of American sports. IIRC recent numbers were showing the NHL has dwindling popularity in the USA.

Football (soccer) dominates in fans and then depends if you count its various leagues around the world together to compete against the American sports or not.
