From Deloitte Football Report

Premier League clubs generated the highest revenue (£1.5 billion) of any league in Europe in 2006/07, followed by Germany (£0.9 billion), Spain (£0.9 billion), Italy (£0.8 billion) and France (£0.7 billion).

The aggregate operating profits of German Bundesliga clubs in 2006/07 of £168m exceeded those for the Premier League (£95m) for the first time, albeit the position may have altered for 2007/08.

Championship clubs’ revenues grew by 3% to £329m in 2006/07. Championship clubs’ aggregate operating losses worsened as wage increases (14%) outstripped revenue growth (3%).

There is no way Argentina can rank that high. Aside from Boca Juniors and River Plate, no team is rich enough on a consistent basis.

I always heard Bundesliga was #1, which I always found it hard to believe.
