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?

Women’s sports actually tend to get a higher percentage of the revenue that they generate. But they have fewer people that pay to watch them so generate less revenue in total.

The reason that most women’s sports are watched less is that they tend to be slower paced, and the level of skill displayed is generally much lower than the male versions of the sport.
