Reply to comment by Roronoa_Zaraki in India’s Female Cricketers Will Be Paid the Same as Male Players by throwaway1215123

The tennis one always gets me, most men's matches are 5 sets where the women's matches are 3 yet, for Wimbledon at least, they get paid the same

All slams it's the same now. Yet the women's side brings in 30% of the men's. Djokovic actually has a good point that he doesn't want equal pay because paying male and female players the same actually anchors the men's side's pay, and they aren't earning as much as they could, because they can afford to pay the men more but not the women, and he's not talking about at the top level, he means that guys going out in qualifying and R1 could be paid more but the tennis boards are saving money through the guise of 'equality'.

Probably because they would be laughed at and told to suck it up cuz women have it worse.
