Really?  Maybe you should see how it does in Japan.  The largest corporations in Japan sponsor and own teams.  baseball is also played around the world and has been for decades.  China is even big on baseball

I think Baseball is like Cricket, it's big in a few country's but gets little in the way of mainstream coverage, it's not really a glamor sport. I did forget Japan though, good point.

Where America went wrong after world war 2 was we should have replaced all of Europe's futbol fields that were destroyed by the war with baseball diamonds... Like that song goes, Futbal what is it good for? absolutely Nothing ugh!

There are 190 + countries in the world , 20 countries have pro baseball league ,out of those 20 countries  , 13 are not worth mentioning.
So 7 or 8 countries out of 190+

I wouldn't say the UFC has low costs.  They put on a real show and that takes alot of money.  The advertising alone easily exceeds millions of dollars a year.  MMA defintiely makes a ton of money.  I wouldn't say $10 billion though.  That would put baseball industry at about 1 trillion considering every country in the world plays it.

No fucking way any sports produces $1trillion in revenue per year.

In a lot of ways the got lucky with Spike picking them up and giving them insane exposure.. also unifying the rules and making it legal took it to the next level the original business plan just wasn't good for it.
