Well not exactly when you consider how the list was compiled.



Initiative Sports Futures, published the report showing the top 10 live TV events for 2007, drawn from a pre-selected list of 15 events viewed worldwide and chosen for both their sporting importance and commercial value.

:dozey: Over here, Formula One only appeals to a few of us die-hard fans who follow it on Speed TV.

The average Sports Fan is much more interested in OSB (other sports beckon).

;) OSB is a term we use (coined by Carrol Smith), for novice drivers who show no ability.
