[QUOTE="Nickdnz, post: 294078"] Every web site I can find indicates that the RWC is the 3rd largest sporting event in the world. To suggest it wouldn't be in the top 20 is ludacris. [url="http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/article/114464"]http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/article/114464[/url] [url="http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/destinationnewzealand/news/newsid=2034828.html"]http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/destinationne...id=2034828.html[/url] [url="http://www.aucklandnz.com/index.php/content_B/?L1=38&L2=40&L3=&id=977&book="]http://www.aucklandnz.com/index.php/conten...d=977&book=[/url] I mean I'm sure that there is a good chance that some of them are wrong, but it seems that every figure I find, we are the third largest sporting event in the world behind the Summer Olympics and of course the Soccer World Cup.

How is it not in the top 20 again? or was that a guess? [/QUOTE]
