yesterday I was arguing with some friends on which of the industry between sports and entertainment industry, is the biggest in terms of revenue generation.

Sport industry includes Football,basketball,tennis...etc


while entertainment industry include music,movies,comedy....etc

I need your opinions

Oga, sports is also entertainment...they are same industry.

soberdrunk:
All the people saying "sports", are you guys dizzy? Avengers end game alone has made $2.79 BILLION!! Let's not forget that entertainment also includes "porn".......

Oga no go there... Sports is far bigger than entertainment. Try do research on Google first

HBB1:


I need evidence, please

By all means

Nice

seanwilliam:
. wizkid worth more than 20m$ bro. after tax, wizkid get money pass mikel. baba read wide.

Nigerians can't stop laughing may be you taught I said 20million naira even if WizKid is reading this he will be laughing right now so you actually believed 30billion for the account o chai. Any way you have the right to believe what so ever you want even Gareth bale that sits on the bench is being paid 600k pounds every Monday to Friday no goal bonus included

Lets end the debate, and round things up here. LIKE FOR SPORT, SHARE FOR ENTERTAINMENT. Lets end the debate, and round things up here. LIKE FOR SPORT, SHARE FOR ENTERTAINMENT.

sports industry is the boss..entertainment industry is more influencial in the society

mcyemite:
entertainment industry
Music industry- jay-z ,Nikki Minaj,chris brown, Beyonce
Movie industry -chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, will smith,angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise.
Comedy industry -kelvin hart
The list is endless men... I'm not sure theres a winner here

All your list Na Yankee... How about other countries...
In sport. The governing body. Like FIFA. Uefa, Olympic, formula 1. Conmebol. FIBA. NFL, all the FAs. Sport teams. Sponsors. Abi mavel and DC comics big pass Nike and adidas? Coaches, individuals plenty wey get money...


This should help solve the argument..
I bet there are many countries that has ministry of sport. Back by law. How many country has ministry of entertainment? Back by law?

Tell any entertainer that has been in spotlight and has been earning big as messi and Ronaldo... For the past ten years and still counting?

Messi is a god

Who in the entertainment industry is a god?

Nostradamus:
Do you include gaming as part of entertainment industry



If in terms of revenue generated,then entertainment industry beat sports industry(the amount gaming and Hollywood generate annually is out of this world).

only English FA, generate more money than entertainment industry.

Oga, that's your evidence-- a 2017 newspaper clipping and a sensational one at that?

Do you realize total earnings (in his life) is different from net worth?

Impossible..sport beats entertainment hands down

Only avengers endgame...neymar transfer alone is 222m...there is money in england football..Italian football...French football, Spanish football...etc...


Not all countries have avengers endgame money power...


And sports is not just football...there is basketball also...

If u add the fact that may weather made 250m dollars from one single fight...then u get the drift

Avatar is still lead endgame in revenue.

@matcheeutd. ur response shows ur exposure is limited nairaland + football alone. 20m$ is less down 8billions naira. i reiterate, wizkid gets money pass mikel after tax. wizkid is the biggest africa-based artist at present.

BeLookingIDIOT:
This shouldn't even be an argument,a simple google search reveals each industries worth.
Sports Industry- ~$700billion
Entertainment Indystry- ~$2.2trillion

Here we are,four pages already,but with answers based on sentiments on how rich their favourite artists or sportsman is.It seems most people lack very basic critical thinking.
Isnt this country doomed

Na wetin make your president dey call us lazy youths. Something wey a simple Google search go do.

Entertainment has it. Entertainers like actors and musicians are business men. They own everything about them. Sometimes sport people don't own their image rights.

Jay Z owns an NBA Team, how many sport people can do that?

Beyonce and can pay Ronaldo every year.

Besides, sport is a short career. Entertainers earn royalties from their hardwork even at old age.

Never underestimate the porn industry too...

jazz. Beyonce, Justin bieber etc, even in general entertainment music most produce the highest earners

AkeNathan:

Transfer of 10 football players alone can raise that 2.7billion dollars.

Neymar, ronaldo, messi, mbappe and joao felix transfer fee alone may catch up with that.

Plus dembele. Harry Kane. Hazard. Coutinho. Griezman nko?

Jose mourinho and pep gordiola has spend close to 2billion pounds on player transfer transfer

@carule, madonna, rihannatand dwayne johnson make money yearly than ronaldo, messi and neymar.

You are making a wrong argument here.. This has nothing to do with ministries In any Country
Place both side by side and compare.

The biggest sport club in the world.. I'm football, basketball, golf etc the biggest is Real Madrid, Real Madrid is only $4b as at 2018.
Compared to Netflix, Netflix alone is worth $9b

As big as arsenal is,arsenal is worth just $2b.even nickelodeon is worth over $10b..

Porn is still there ooooo

That's Forbes and mayweather get paid in checks ,we aiint talking about investments here,it's cash at hand,he earned more than $500m in 2 fights,heck even tiger woods passed the billion dollar mark.

FYI real Madrid is not the richest sport team in the world .

Calculate last year's box office revenue and let's start from there, you can't rely on Google for everything,you gotta do the work yourself.

I can Bet u can only list from The Us, UK, Bollywood. How about underdeveloped countries. ? For we own Naija sef?

Celine Dion that hasn't released an album in years still make more money than all of your top players every year...

Compare local artist like Wizkid and DavidO to local footballers or boxers for naija make your head tell you scores.

You people will just sit down in your house and be hyping Wiz kid and Co, Because they decide to show off, Most of these entertainers rely on sport men For money when it comes to show, This wizkid is not even as rich as Linda Ikeji, If you have money ehn, you don't need to shout or wear blingbling before people know you are rich......Sport in general generates Money than Entertainment (Music,Drama and Comedy) any day.

Entertainment is the father, sports is just one of the child categories.

Entertainment trumps sports because it also benefits from sports.

Dudeweedlmao:



Enteratinment include hollywood, and we're talking about Marvel, Dc, Sony, Niqqa, those guys average billions of dollars in box office movies every year. YOu dey call millionaires lol

entertainment is small when compared to ordinary sport betting that makes billions every month
