I would have to say that basketball is the highest paying sport in the world. Both LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are all in the top 10 highest paid athletes in the world, making over 30+ million dollars. Most basketball players sign contracts that are higher than any other sport.

With salaries in the NBA topping 20 million per year, basketball players earn more than any other athlete. In terms of averages, the limited roster in basketball teams offers an insurmountable advantage over football, soccer, baseball or any other team sport.

I believe the question was " What is the highest paing sport in the WORLD?" If so, that will be soccer. Hold On: U. s. is NOT the world. Football, baseball, or even basketball are NOT played world-wide, yes other countries play but are not paid as U. S Players.

I don't know exactly, but basketball and football are definately not the highest. Soccer is one of the highest, ex. David Beckham signed for 250 million with L. A. Galaxy. Whoever says basketball and football are the highest in the world are retarded.
