Professional sports are intended to make money. Money. Oh, and more money. The games themselves for most owners ARE secondary.
Oh, and the "fan base" you talk about is too extreme. In today's society, someone will find difficulty following their favorite baseball or basketball team, seeing as though baseball fans would have to watch their team for upwards of 500 HOURS PER YEAR. You'd be hard pressed to find 100,000 fans like that.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
