horse racing

probably football with millions in the pros

Answer 5

Good Question! They both have a bunch of money in the business. Horse racing has money by breeding and owning the thoroughbreds. You can pay a lot of money for one certain thoroughbred. You have to have a pretty good amount of money to own a thoroughbred. Horse racing really doesn't get much advertising. Sure, when the Kentucky Derby comes into Louisville, they have lots of ads. But that seems like the only time. Football has the money from the t-shirts, cups, etc. They sell a bunch of souvenirs that benefit the NFL or the NCAAF. Also the amount of money it takes to own a NFL team, the amount of money businesses pay the NFL to have their commercials on Super Bowl Day. For the question, I think Football has to have more money!

Answer 6

Horse racing because most states allow legal betting on horse races but not on football.
