What is the biggest PROFESSIONAL spectator sport in the world?

Rupert Roo asked:
What sport brings in the most money and is seen by the most people in the world? I know that most people play football (soccer) but my Dad is convinced that auto racing is the #1 spectator PRO sport seen in the world. I have a hard time believing it as I find car racing extremely boring. I don’t love soccer either but at least the people competing are excellent athletes. So what PRO sport is seen by the most people and brings in the most money in the world?
Any statistical data to back up an answer would be appreciated, a $1 bet is on the line here!
