I was just making the point that if they want equal pay they should do equal work. Many 5 set matches go for more than 3 hours but almost no womens matches go past 3 hours. That's not fair imo.
They'd need to run separate tournaments with separate sponsors, tickets for fans etc. Otherwise how do you determine which money belongs to the men and which belongs to the women.

I think if they split them both would suffer but the men would end up with better sponsorship and bigger crowds. But that's only my opinion and not backed up with any facts.

As a bloke who has played footy, cricket and tennis at a pretty decent level, i can tell you, cricket killed my body the most.
Very demanding on the body. You have clearly never played the game at a decent level to make judgement.
I meant in terms of physical contact like footy and soccer

Not sure on tennis

Always watch the ads with sport, because it gives you an idea of the demo watching it

If you see more tampax ads than lynx, its the female viewers who are generating the coin

Agree though tennis is better with both together

Also worth reminding of some of the mls situation. Female footballers did the math, and confirmed their comp earned more than the men's, but they were paid 10% of what the men were

Women's Tennis should be 5 sets in Grandslams if they want the same money. Djokovich was right.

Ever faced up to a bloke bowling over 140kms an hour and the thing is swinging? Do that then come back to me.
Even simpler, get in the nets, and get a mate to swt a bowling machine to 140 clicks and face some jug balls.

Yes I have. It's not the same as being bashed into during a game of footy.
