Baseball is considered the highest paying sport due to the Athlete's tenure. Most baseball players generally enjoy longer careers than most other sports players due to the lower possibility of injury.
They play a 162 game schedule with thousands of fans at each game and therefore the team makes lots of money and are able to pay more for players.
Because they have to run more.

Only a very few boxers get paid more than the top 100 basketball player salaries.
That is true in a way. In the US basketball is more popular than soccer. That is why basketball players are paid more. In other countries, soccer is more popular so soccer players get paid more. Soccer in the US is becoming increasingly popular. Soon soccer players could be paid as much as basketball players.
Because the market for NBA games is larger than WNBA games, therefore, they make more money.
