Equal Pay for Men & Women's Sports
Ask a Question
Should male and female sports stars receive equal pay?
The England and Wales Cricket Board is taking a step towards equality by ensuring that men's and women's minimum starting salaries will be the same starting in 2025.
Is this the right move for sports? 
Easy to answer with some sports, No, the men's game generates far more revenue than womens
Leannexxx not just those 2, rugby league, rugby union to name a few some women are paid very well in boxing , in some cases more than men, the Welsh and English cricket boards are run by the woke brigade, they are running the time into a financial crisis for most clubs, this will not help, it could lead to some clubs no longer been able to have a women's team
martinlufc5637 Womens boxing repulses me M, i tried watching it but i cannot, seeing a womans face being pulverised , face protection or not, its bad enough being two men in the ring , its sort of accepted, but i will never willingly watch two women knocking 10 shades out of each other as entertainment , equality has come a long way but i think it overstepped the mark here
telmel I liked boxing but it's the most corrupt sport on the planet, after seeing the controversy over womens olympic boxing, not knowing if they are men or women, it puts me off
No, simply because women's sports just aren't as big/popular as male sports so it makes no sense for them to be paid the same.
To be short and sweet, no. If the women generate more money in that sport then fair enough but until that happens then no
Ideally i think they should be paid the same but that’s not really feasible given the fact that most female sports don’t generate anywhere near the money that the male version does.
I remember a few male tennis players raising the point that it’s unfair that men and women get paid the same at grand slams when it’s the male players generating more of the income.
Unfortunately women's sport doesn't being in as much money as male sports, so the male sports would be the ones funding this pay increase as they aren't going to lower the salaries. When women's sports bring in as much or more than men's sports then yes. It is purely about profits.
In fashion female models are often paid more because they generate more income for brands etc. You get female super models but I don't think you get the same for men. Super models earn huge money. I've never felt this is unfair because its simple commerce. There are some roles that should be equal pay but others that should not because the income generated is different between genders. I'm not the greatest fan of sport myself and don't follow league football but I often feel access to football is excessively priced for fans and they are exploited. It would be good to bring prices down and pay players less but its not going to happen.
From personal experience I have found that women are far more bright than men so I think ladies should get more than men.
If not then definitely equal pay to be fair
Paulyousef28 Word salad.
Just get to the point and answer yes or no based on which has a higher audience and is more profitable.
The answer is... No.
If women's sports ever get the same audience and profitability, yes, but currently... Nope.
Paulyousef28 You are not far wrong there P, you only have to look at the state of the planet to see what damage they have done over the centuries , i am ashamed of my fellow men and their limited IQ's
