uncle farabale, a world cup is hosted once in four years,the cup itself is worth just $20m,ticket sales and TV rights is worth slightly more that a $100m...do you have any idea how much hollywood spend on making movies and how much they earn after releasing the movie?.. It tunes up to billions of dollars..... The money made my UEFA champions league, UEFA Europa cup and world cup combined is not up to what marvel made on black panther or avengers infinity wars... Or what HBO made on game of throne season 8.....

Hollywood alone would swallow everything sport has to offer...

P.S

Pornhub is worth more than Manchester United and arsenal combined
Bro... Price money for the cup winner no mean say that Na the only money winner dey collect for sport. The team that gain promotion to Epl via playoff receive close to 170million pounds. While Uefa camp league Winner recieved like 9 million pounds. But that one mean say teams won't earn money each match after group stage. Entertainment industry get money but sport all the way. You can meantion only few counties that invest big in entertainment. I can mention 100 counties that invest big in sport.


There is even world court for sport. Which is court of arbitration for sport. Is there world governing body for entertainment? Nor world judicial body?

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
U are right... It's about the biggest investment. Apart The Us. UK. China and Indian. Where does enterment industry make huge investment than sport? U sha know how many country we have in the world... 90% od those countries engage in sport... Developed.. Developing... Under developed.. Can u say the same about entertainment? And no reply base on The Us points only

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?

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
How much does each sport team worth? How many nollywood are there in the world? Epl only contribute close to 9billion pounds to UK economy. Man u is 4.17billion pounds according to Forbes. Spanish la liga, almost all country in the world spend on sport. How many spends on entertainment? Use Nigeria as case study. Only united stated and few developed country make it big in entertainment. But in sport. Even war torn Libya spend on sport.
SportsRe: Sports Industry Vs Entertainment Industry Which Is The Biggest In The World? by carule(m): 9:16pm On Jul 21, 2019
This is gone be a never ending argument... But sport tends to me the bigger investment. Unified world body governing it. In some way but sport and entertainment go along each other. To me sport seem like the biggest.

SportsCristiano Ronaldo Shows Off £1.7m Bugatti Veyron by carule(op): 11:35am On Aug 18, 2016
Just days before the start of the new La Liga season, Cristiano Ronaldo has shown he's already up to speed by showing off his new £1.7million black Bugatti Veyron. Portugal captain Ronaldo, 31, splashed out on the supercar following his team's success at Euro 2016 earlier this summer and gave his social media followers a glimpse of his vehicle with a video posted on Instagram.
With a number of cars to his name already, the Bugatti is Ronaldo's new prized possession. The 16.4 Grand Sport version, which is in the top range of the supercars made by Bugatti, goes from 0-to-62 mph in just 2.6 seconds. Ronaldo captioned his video of him driving the car at his house on the outskirts of Madrid: 'Coming back home.

Ronaldo is the owner of one of only 450 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport's, with the car boasting a top speed of 255-mph and an outer skin completely made of carbon fibre. It is the fastest legal road car available on the market.

RONALDO'S BUGATTI VEYRON BY NUMBERS
Car: Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport
Cost: £1.7m
Zero to 60 mph: 2.4 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 5.0 sec
Top speed: 255 mph

The former Manchester United man, who also counts a Rolls Royce and a Lamborghini Aventador among his car collection, joins a host of past and present sports stars by purchasing a Bugatti.
Previous men to own the vehicle include retired undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather and former Real Madrid and Brazil legend Roberto Carlos.
Ronaldo was a central figure as his country sealed their first ever major title in France this summer and returned to training with Madrid last week following a long holiday in Ibiza.

Ronaldo didn't feature for Madrid in pre-season, but Wales star Bale returned for the first time since Euro 2016 in his club's eight-goal thriller with French side Stade de Reims earlier this week.
Bale and Toni Kroos featured in the 5-3 win and with Ronaldo still to come back into the side, Zidane has plenty of attacking options at his disposal.
The French boss has already led Real to silverware this season, their 3-2 win over fellow Spanish side Sevilla landing them the European Super Cup in Norway earlier this month

CultureCould This Have Happened If It Was Our Naija Men In Black? by carule(op): 7:13pm On Feb 07, 2015
One special Christmas delivery: Cop who caught starving mother stealing eggs gives her two truckloads of food to feed her family. what a surprise...i cant stop wondering if this would have happened if na naija police caught that woman. here is the full story...
Officer William Stacy and his colleagues delivered the food on Wednesday
Helen Johnson, 47, was caught stealing five eggs on Saturday by Stacy
Declined to arrest her and instead bought her the eggs and gave her a hug
Made the desperate mom promise not to shop lift again in the future
The story was captured on video by passerby and went viral online
Johnson lives with her two daughters, niece and two grandchildren in the same apartment
The compassion shown by Officer William Stacy to desperate Alabama mother Helen Johnson captured the nation's attention at a time of strained relations between the police and black Americans.

Instead of arresting her for stealing five eggs to feed her starving family on Saturday, Stacy bought the carton and the touching hug they shared afterwards caught on video by a stunned passer-by went viral.

But it got even better on Wednesday when Officer Stacy and some colleagues arrived at 47-year-old Johnson's home with two truckloads of food to keep her and her children and grandchildren fed through Christmas.

The last time I saw my house this full, I was 12-years-old and staying with my grandmother,'' said Johnson to Al.Com. 'I've been crying all day.'
Officer Willaim Stacy hugs a still crying Helen Johnson as she watches another officer bring more donated food to her house. Johnson's granddaughter Tamarose Johnson, 3, smiles at the front door as she watches too

Officer Willaim Stacy hugs a still crying Helen Johnson as she watches another officer bring more donated food to her house. Johnson's granddaughter Tamarose Johnson, 3, smiles at the front door as she watches too

The reaction to the viral hug was so imense that Tarrant Police Chief Dennie Reno said that he had to bring in a second police dispatch officer just to field the calls of donations for Johnson coming in from the around the country.

'As of right now, with all the stuff going on in Ferguson and New York and all over the US, it's good to have this kind of story,' said Officer Stacy to AL.Com. 'It gives a positive image for law enforcement.'

Officers also set up a fund at People's First Federal Credit Union in Tarrant with all the money pouring in destined to be handed to the Johnson family.

'It's growing and growing and growing,' said Reno to Al.Com. 'A guy called me from New York and just broke down. He said for two months he's been angry with police, and he said this has totally changed his mind.'

But Reno said that the best outcome for everyone out of the heart-warming episode was that Johnson will not be forced to steal just to feed her family, especially during the Holidays.

'This woman's getting plenty of food,' said Reno to Al.com. 'She shouldn't be hungry for a while.'

Every week Johnson feeds her two daughters, niece and two grandchildren, ages 1 and 3 with her welfare check of just $120 a month.

However, last week the money was lost in the mail, leaving the Johnsons perilously close to starvation.

By Saturday, the family had not eaten for two days, so Johnson went to Dollar General with only $1.25 to try and buy eggs.

To her despair she found herself 50 cents short of the tax and put five eggs into her pockets.

At the time it may not have seemed that way, but fortuitously the eggs broke in her pocket.

'I am not a good thief at all,' said Johnson to Al.Com.

Stopped as she tried to leave with egg whites and yolks dripping from her jacket pocket, Johnson admitted immediately she had stolen them.

The store had already called the police and when Officer Stacy arrived he told her to stay where she was while he spoke to the store owners.

They decided together not to press charges against Johnson but when they went to speak to the grandmother she expected the handcuffs to come out.

'She started crying, she got very emotional and was very apologetic,' said Stacy said. 'She tried to give me the money she had on her, $1.25.'

It was then that Stacy explained that she was not going to be arrested. He remembered her from a prior visit to her house and recalled how poverty stricken she was. Her family all sleep on mattresses on the floor.

'The story she told me Saturday matched up with what I had seen when I was there,' said Stacy according to Al.com.

'I felt like it was the right thing to do. I didn't want to pass judgment on her.'

He bought her a carton of eggs and when Johnson asked Stacy how she could repay him, he simply asked her never to shoplift again.

'I hope she won't do it again. I pray she doesn't, and I don't think she will,' said Stacy.

Just before she got into her car, Johnson turned to hug Stacy and unknown to them, the moment was captured on cellphone by Robert 'Dollar' Tripp who posted it to Facebook with the hashtag, 'feelgoodstoryoftheday'.

The story was shared millions of times online and on Tuesday, officers from Tarrant police arrived at Johnson's house unannounced.

'I thought it was about the eggs. My grandbaby said, 'Are you going to jail?' and I said I hoped not.'

She was not being arrested and instead was taken to Tarrant police station where they revealed she was to not only get food, but toys and clothing from well-wishers who had donated them for Johnson's family.

And then on Wednesday, Officer Stacy and Officer Jay Jenkins brought the food to Johnson - causing her understandably to break down in tears.

'I just busted out and started hollering,' said Johnson to Al.com. 'I was yelling so loud. I would have been a good cheerleader.'

Johnson then said her life has been changed forever because of Stacy and could never thank him enough.

How i wish Naija Police can act like this..... God bless Nigeria. change is coming
