Can you find the amount of revenue that womens tennis generates compared to mens tennis. Specifically i am interested in tournament and tv license money. I suspect that the mens game generates a lot more revenue from these sources and hence the players should get a larger share of prize money from the tournaments |

Why would men generate more money? I think a lot of people from way back would rather watch women play. Take for instance, Martina, Billie Jean and Chris Everet Lori www.stainedglassa2z.com |

Several years ago - before the teen female players were noted for sex appeal - I read that the men did indeed earn more than the women from all sources. The article pointed out that the men's matches lasted longer - obviously so, when playing three winning sets. This gave their matches more medium time, resulting in more TV ad spots, longer viewing of advertisements on the court, and more shots of whatever sponsored clothing they were wearing. (I remember a commentator remarking about someone's retying a shoe as being done for the shoe sponsor.) By the way, the above comment appears to be spam. A similarly inappropriate one with the link appeared under another question. |
