How does the Cricket World Cup fare against FIFA World Cup?
The 2014 FIFA World Cup's viewership (3.2 billion) was twice that of the 2015 Cricket World Cup (1.5 billion). FIFA spent $2,224 million to organise the 2014 edition, which generated a revenue of $4,826 million, while the last Cricket World Cup was organised by the ICC at an expense of $13.9 million and generated $42.8-million revenue.
