Statistics don't back up that argument though. While the Olympics may not sell out completely, the percentage of tickets sold relative to tickets available has been 90% or more since the 2008 Summer Olympics.

And even on an entertainment level I personally thought the Paris Olympics was an amazing event (sickness from swimming in the Seine aside).
