    The Yankees are unknown by the rest of the world, yet they are worth more than Manchester United.

    Also, the richest sports franchise in the world is the NFL.

    The New York Yankees? Shaqille O'Neal?

    Don't be ****ing stupid.

    America is not 'the world'

    Baseball & Basketball aren't global sports.

    Sorry, which NFL team has spent $0.5 Billion on new players in the last two months?

    Real Madrid & Manchester United are global brands. Not just 'big in Ohio'.

    Real have some much money because of the Spanish MOnarchy, and they sell image rights to various companies.

    Anybody that belives Manny or Floyd are that popular worldwide are kidding themselves.

    Mike Tyson and Ali are the most popular boxers on earth, their basically the Jacksons, Jordon, Beckhams of the sport.

    I'd hazzard a guess that 75% of sports fan worldwide have never watched a game of basketball or heard of any of those players.

    You show a picture of Cristiano Ronaldo or David Beckham to some kid in Africa, Europe, Australia or Asia and they would know who it was.

    Most wouldn't have a clue if you showed them a picture LeBron James.
