How are there “small market” sports teams that are unable to give out max deals when the owners are all billionaires?

Is it because small market refers to the size of where they’re located? And the revenue wouldn’t justify, as a businessman, to pay out these large deals?

Small market does refer to their location. Not sure which sport you are talking about, I assume baseball? New York has huge market revenue because they have a hug market to work with and can make massive advertising and television deals. A team like Milwaukee cannot compete with that. Even if the owners are billionaires (which not all are individual billionaires) many of them are looking at the franchise as a business. They want to make money. So they do not want to pay out more than they can make in any given year.
