get paid the same as the men at Wimbledon yet only play a maximum of 3 sets? The guys might have to play 5 sets.

this is not equality... i demand the men get paid more... either that or the women are made to not wear bras.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    It's that simple plus there hasn't any charismatic US Men's Champion to capture a sustained American audience in a long time to warrant more than equal pay.

    Highest TV ratings in the UK for a Wimbledon final since 2001

    The men's final had the highest number of viewers in the UK of any Wimbledon final since 2001, peaking at 11.1 million viewers during the last stretch of the match.

    Well, like you said, during the last stretch of the match. The last 2 mens wimbledon finals have been pretty incredible but advertisers can't bank on epic matches like the last 2.

    overall the women's game is more popular than the men's.

    There is no way women's tennis is more popular than mens. There is only a handful of good looking players, Sharapova, Kirelenko and aa few more.

    Men's tennis is way better. Watching the Aust open, Men's tennis is far superior. Fedderer, Nadal, Murray. No one can match their natural ability in the women's game.

    Sure tomorrows final is going to be a goodie. Henin vs S.Williams. But the men's Murray Vs Fed/Tsonga should be awesome.

    Men should get paid more.

    Who's going to win the finals?????

    Tis a conundrum indeed. Who knows? I guess the money is generated, and shared out, and they have their reasons.

    Another one I heard earlier was this guy on the TV had been talking to some dude who is world champion at squash, and apparently he says he feels agrieved that he doesn't get the recognition or the cash that tennis players do. DUH :shock: ! No one watches, or indeed, gives a shit about squash, it's a game that can easily be played by fat people after work. Fact. Get used to it, no one cares.

    BTW, I like that lady tennis player from the old poster....know what I mean? ;)
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    some bloke worked it out last Wimbledon, but basically a woman who wins Wimbledon gets paid X amount per game and that X is much higher than the bloke's Y salary per game... I think what i'm suggesting is that aren't allowed to wear bras.

    A fat bloke played at our place once and died. :o You have to be fit as a butcher's dog to play squash but yes it's not a TV sport so no money in it.
