I get the impression it's rugby...Although here in the US I would disagree with the basketball comment and say American football is the biggest here.  Golf has a lot of international players but I don't know how popular it is around the world to watch??

Cricket ,namely IPL in India

Hi,With Twenty20, the three-hour, 20-overs-a-side version, One-Day internationals and Test matches, cricket is the second most popular sport in the world.It attracts crazy fans with a religion-like following in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal.Cricket cherishes the ‘most popular’ tag in 20 countries.

I think the second biggest sport is "Making Love"

You make love ..... watch football

Intermission.... make love..... watch football

Game is over.... make love..... wait for the next football game

Maybe the #1 sport!!!!

Cycling actually it has been listed as the biggest individual sport.

One stage in the TDF 1 million people watching with 3/4 weeks of racing.

Tv spectators 10's of millions
