In the past decades, the rapid development of the sports economy has become one of the most important factors in China’s economy. This research uses three mathematical models to predict the specific revenue of China's sports industry from 2024 to 2030. The Grey Theory Prediction Model and the recursive algorithm were used in previous research to make revenue forecasts. The research and comparison indicate a large difference between the real income and the predicted results of the models. This paper proposed a novel predicting method improved by the ARMAX-BP prediction model. The results show that the predicted result of ARMAX-BP is much more accurate than the first two models on the revenue forecast of the sports industry from 2010 to 2020. The prediction model can help sports investors plan their careers and investments precisely.
