For the sports industry to go up a step higher, it depends on whether or not the intrinsic patterns of market economy are followed; sports game management must make some breakthroughs in terms of professionalized conception, market awareness as well as specialized organization and management; sports game sponsoring is not simply “buying publicity with money”, it is a valuable thing to maximize sponsor benefits; the varieties of product and service provided by the sports fitness and entertainment market in China are limited and undiversified, and the replacement and high style products are launched onto the market behind the time; in terms of market benefit distribution, we should establish a set of mechanisms with clearly defined responsi-bility, well established power and definitely clarified interest; the cultivation of professionals in the sports industry is related to the future of the sports industry in China.
