No way is women's tennis more popular.Comment -
I watch women more than men unless a Williams is playing. Those are some ugly bitches. But on the subject of pay - the women should make less because they only play best out of three.Comment -
Not sure why this is an issue. It should be based on how much money they bring in, just like any other sport.Comment -
Djokovic agrees that men should be paid more because bigger audienceComment -
Exactly. There are no owners also. With that said I was happy when they did finally get even pay just because in every other arena women are more times than not paid less.Originally posted by t-wizzleComment -
Yea but thats only in majors and Davis Cup, so only 5 tournaments out of the year.Originally posted by VeggieDogComment -
No. And they don't at smaller and separate tournaments. You watch a final at a WTA tourney somewhere in Baku and it has literally dozens of spectators. If women want to have the same prize fund at GSlams they have to play 5-setters too. The current situation there is total BS.Comment -
Men should be paid moreComment -
Men should be paid more. The pay should be based on hourly rates. Men play more hours on the court than women.Comment -
Prove that they do.Originally posted by pavyracerComment -
men should be paid more in every sport, job, business. women are only worth about 70% at most in every aspect of comparison.Comment -

Australian Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, US Open - min 3 sets / matchComment -
No question about it. Either give men more money OR, gender equality, ladies have to play until one wins 3 sets as well.Comment -
Duh, Ive stated thats only 4 tourneys out of the year. Seems thats basically the only tennis casual fans notice. There are a crapton of tournaments throughout the year, Ive followed tennis daily for over 10 years, men dont necessarily play longer in regular tournaments than men.Originally posted by horja1Comment -
And as i mentioned before those crappy WTA toruneys literally should not even be there b/c nobody cares apart from a few betting junkies.Originally posted by jtolerComment -
Women are better marketers of productsComment -

fuk out of hereOriginally posted by VeggieDogComment -
Be tough to argue against the 4 majors.
But, other tourneys where they don`t necessarily play together, market determines pay.
Golfers...women make about 25% or less what the men make due to sponsor $, and they all should be sukking Eldricks unit every time they bank a check.Comment -
trick question I suppose? The market should dictate, but it doesn'tComment -
Men's smaller tournaments are the same, hardly anyone shows up until the final unless its a major or Masters 1000.Originally posted by frugalgamblerComment -
no way in hell. men play grueling 5 set matches. i'd love to see a woman play a long match like these men do.Comment -
Exactly, enough of this double standard bs. Do equal work or gtfo and stop bitching that you get paid less for doing less. This is my sentiment not only in tennis/sports but in other areas of life too. I was previously in the military and a firefighter and there's no way in hell after experiencing that and working with women, that anyone can tell me they do equal work or pull their weight. Men were always having to help these substandard women out in almost every area, especially physical stuff. This whole gender equality, feminist shit needs to stop. It doesn't make sense to hire a 120 pound woman who's 5 ft. 4 inches to be a firefighter and routinely pull >200 pound, passed out people out of a burning building with seconds to spare, when there's a 6ft tall, 185 pound, jacked man willing and ready to do the same exact job, with the same exact test scores and much higher physical fitness scores and ability. It's common fuucking sense but don't tell that to feminists or the types of people who will vote for Hillary just cause she's a woman. I hope next time your house is on fire and you need to be rescued, they send the feminist truck/squad over to your place. Disclaimer, I'm 100% in favor of equal pay for women on jobs where their inferior abilities don't come into play. Desk jobs, management positions, healthcare, teachers, government jobs, lawyers etc. It's just the ones that will cost people their lives such as, firefighters, cops, military that piss me off. As well as sports, not doing equal work, teeing off closer to the green in golf, best of 3 in tennis GS tourneys etc.Originally posted by Jaak VarblaneComment -
not true at all. unless you're talking about challengersOriginally posted by jtolerComment -
It should be based on supply and demand. Fukk all the PC bullshiyComment -
It isnt lol, its very true, otherwise which tourneys say 250 and 500 tourneys have a decent crowd in 1st, 2nd, and quarters?Originally posted by brodieComment -
Tourneys do well
Men make enough even off courtComment -
Should men's underwear models get paid the same as Victoria Secret models?Comment -
When women start playing five grueling sets, the pay should be equal.
Or if they play topless.
One or the other.Comment
