Which is the sport where the female version is more popular/watched?

Netball. You guys have that in America? There's a number of international women's leagues for it, but I've never seen a male one.

When you say Gymnastics I'm assuming you mean Rhythmic Gymnastics? I doubt the difference in Artistic Gymnastics is noteworthy.

I was referring to artistic. I've never seen rhythmic.

I looked up rhythmic gymnastics at the Olympic games and there isn't a men's competition? edit: or is it co-ed?
 
Synchronised Swimming?

Maybe it's just from a UK perspective, but I can name an awful lot more Heptathletes than I can Decathletes.

No, I definitely mean artistic gymnastics. And indeed, there is no men's rhythmic gymnastics, at least not in the Olympics.
 
Everything I could think of is already mentioned here.

Women's hockey gets some significant coverage in Canada, especially Olympic hockey.
 
Roller derby. I don't think I've heard of any male leagues.
 
+1 OP I'm not a huge soccer fan but I like the women's world cup. Honestly I prefer watching women's soccer. They act tougher than the men...

Anyway, everyone already posted the answers I was gonna give (gymnastics, figure skating, synchronized swimming volleyball & beach volleyball).
 
......for real?
I think there is actual sport mud wrestling. I don't think there's any male competition.
But if we're only talking about sports with professional level competition, then mud wrestling is probably out.

Yep, there's no rhythmic for men in the Olympics (apparently there's a male version in Asia, but it's weird I think they don't dance).

I remember someone saying the most popular gymnastics to go see live was rhythmic, that's why I thought you all meant that. I don't know the difference in popularity in artistic gymnastics to be honest. Although now that I think about it that comment was about Spain so maybe it's not the same everywhere else.
 
I find men's figure skating just as good, if not better, as the women's. I think they're a bit more equal in popularity.

Overall, I prefer watching the Olympics over most other broadcasts of sports, and it's pretty equal for men's and women's competitions. Baseball and football have fallen off for me.
 
I first o thought tennis, but I can only think of like three female tennis players and six or seven males. Right now though whenever I hear of tennis it is female because of Serena.

Would say in the US until the last couple years, female World Cup soccer was more popular, but probably not anymore with how well them male team did last time.

As far as the olympics go, probably gymnastics and figure skating are more popular for females than male competition.
 
Figure skating.

During the Winter Olympics in Japan I noticed the stands during the men's event were sparsely populated at best. But the place was packed for the women's event.
 
Tennis, depending on who's "big" at the time.

Golf at times could make a case for it as well.

Personally, I would say Soccer that the women's national team has generally eclipsed the men's teams, even with MLS being a thing again.


And then various other things which are, at least in part, due to men liking to look at women in a particular sport's attire.

No, golf could never make a case for it. Like, not even remotely close.
 
Tennis. But I also like the sport so thats a bonus.

Edit; That sounds unintentionally bad. I don't like watching many sports.
 
I guess due to its prominence in India as a male (indeed national) sport this probably isn't true, but I like to think that field hockey would be pretty equal.

What about squash? That too would have to be fairly equal.
 
Netball. You guys have that in America? There's a number of international women's leagues for it, but I've never seen a male one.

Never heard of this so I looked it up...what am I watching? There's a whistle every 2 seconds. I thought Basketball was bad...
