NBA is huge and people worldwide watch it but I feel like you’ll find a very small amount of people interested in the WNBA and players in the WNBA make significantly less than their male counterparts, why?
In: Culture
The lack of interest directly correlates to the lower pay. Fewer fans means lower ticket sales, smaller TV deals, smaller and fewer sponsorship deals which mean less revenue for the sport with which to pay the athletes.
As for difference in popularity, a lot has to do with men being faster, talker, more athletic, generally more exciting to watch.
