Forbes Most Valuable franchises out again

[Juan]

They don't have all the numbers, of course, so a lot of guessing is involved.

In any event, the top three most valuable franchises in the world are all soccer teams--

Real Madrid $3.44 billion.
Barcelona at $3.2 billion
Manchester United at $2.81 billion

4. New York Yankees -- $2.5 billion (MLB’s most valuable franchise) 
5. Dallas Cowboys – $2.3 billion
8. New England Patriots – $1.8 billion
9. Washington Redskins – $1.7 billion
10. New York Giants – $1.55 billion
12. Houston Texans - $1.45B
13. Knicks $1.4B (NBA’s most valued franchise).
27. Toronto Maple Leafs --  $1.15B  (NHL’s most valuable franchise) .
 
The Los Angeles Clippers did not make the top 50 most valuable franchises even though they are expected to be bought for $2 billion (the equivalent of the Dodgers) -- is this an indication that everything is undervalued?

Texans at 12 is a bit surprising
