Yes it certainly is. It's the most widespread sport and the Premier League is the richest in the world. It depends however, what you call sport as fishing is supposed to have more participants although professional football is watched every week by over a million people live and far many more millions on television. Top Premier players can earn over £100,000 per week but in lower leagues the average is about £25,000

Well, in English money, top flight players can earn from £20,000 to £100,000 a week.\ni.e Cristiano Ronaldo earns around £27,000 a week, and Steven Gerrard earns £100,000 a week

In terms of a football competition, the FIFA World Cup.\n\n      However, as an overall athletic event, the Olympics, due to their history, and the amount of countries and people they bring together, is by far the better one.

No. There is no form of Sport that generates more money than Formula-1. despite the money spent by european clubs on various players, they can't compete with the money that is pumped into technology by F-1 teams. Even the name Formula-1 suggests that it is the supreme form of sport.
