@libfit9068 the WNBA players have a collective bargaining agreement. They get paid on the current numbers. The current numbers the league operates at a $10 million a year LOSS. Going forward will viewership numbers rise.. will attendance rise MAYBE. You are talking about the numbers of a college championship game. Those numbers were FANTASTIC good job by the women. No way to predict what the WNBA will do..but based on past seasons..numbers are terrible. Even if they improve...the cost of the WNBA League pass is $34.99. For every game of every team the whole season. Right now the business is not profitable or viable and is subsidized by the Men's league. Instead of being outraged...everyone should right now either sing up for the League Pass or get season tickets for a local team. Besides some these ladies picked in the first round will make MILLIONS in endorsements. Complaining about their league salaries right now makes ZERO SENSE and smells of fake outraged sensationalism by non sports fans that just repeat what they hear because it sounds good. Steph Curry gets paid millions because he makes Bilions for the owners that pay him. Instead of being outraged let's support these women by buying tickets and / or watching the games. THAT is how they will start making real $$. Not by silly protests.

The NBA gets $93m per team or $1.1m per team/per game. The WNBA gets $5.4m per team or $135k per team/per game. I would image all other revenue numbers are also this far apart.

Talk percentages of total revenue... If we're talking pay differences based on gender. Why not discuss where the money they earn comes from? Allow me. The Revenue comes from Ticket sales, Concessions, Merchandise sales etc... Where do ticket sales and merchandise sales come from? Those come from Fans. Where do fans come from? Fans come to the game for entertainment. It's fair to assume that the more entertaining something is, the more people will want to participate. Is a layup as entertaining as a posterizing Slam Dunk??? .... NOW.. How many fans are attending the average WNBA game? Now compare that to the NBA.... As difficult as it is to hear, or believe... If there's a pay gap, It's the men that are being cheated. NBA Players get a tiny percentage of the total generated revenue when compared to their WNBA counterparts. If you bring in more $ you make more $. Any debate here is just an indicator that 54% of Adults in the U.S. can't read at a 6th grade level.

No one is interested in most lower male leagues either. Some women's sports do have some prestige and create multi-millionaire female athletes like tennis and MMA, but even then, it's not on the same level as the top men.
