Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3051153, member: 652"] Tennis is not soccer. The soccer tournaments don’t run concurrently. Tennis does. Why does golf not pay equally? The equal pay argument ignores revenues. In tennis majors you are paying to watch both men and women during the same session. Thus their should be no issue at all with equal pay. Since each tournament is being run at the same time the attendance is the same. The soccer argument is not even close to the same as tennis. The attendance for the WWC this year was 1.131 million and an average of 21,000 per match. The attendance for the 2018 Men’s World Cup was 3.03 million and an average of 47,371 per match. The 2018 tournament generated 6 billion dollars in profit. The 2019 tournament is projected to turn a 4 million profit. I think our USWNT is by far the best in the world and they should negotiate for more from the USSF but to call for equal pay is basically saying pay them revenue they don’t bring in. [/QUOTE]
