Based on the yearly salary that athletes get paid by, baseball is the highest paying sport. If you mean by the amount of games played, than football.

According to Forbes magazine the two highest paid athletes in 2004 were golfer Tiger Woods and race car driver Michael Schumacher. But the two highest paying sports were baseball and Basketball.

In other people's opinions:

  • OK, now break it down. How many games do they play in baseball (way too many!) and in football (16 unless you make it to the playoffs). I would have to say football is the highest paying sport.
  • Baseball
  • One only needs to look at Team Payrolls/Number of Players to realise that Basketball is the highest paying team sport
  • I think that Texas hold em is the highest paying sport if we consider how much in prize money is awarded how often. Also I know no sporting prize bigger than 12 million which was won in the 2006 World Series (8 million in 2007). Consider interned tournaments and I think that poker would be bigger than Tennis and Golf.
