    Djokovic won 6-2 6-0. His reign of terror goes on.

    It's not their fault it isn't best of five at Slams but I think it's unfair for equal pay at those tournaments.

    tbh.

    If there's more interest in the men's game then it's going to generate more money ergo they should get more money.
    The equality argument goes out of the window when you're talking about a profession where the money earned is proportional to the money generated.

    Where is there to stand but with common sense?

    It's not a wage its prize money. Where do they think the money comes from?

    Sponsors and ticket sales are disproportionately in favour of the mens game yet they get a much small % of the revenue. 'Equal pay' would be giving the men more.

    You don't pay men and women footballers the same, rugby players don't get the same as footballers etc.

    In the entertainment industry its not equal pay for equal work, you get your market value. The men's game is more marketable simple as that.

    The Indian Wells tournament director was spot on. As was Djokovic though he was forced to retracted his statements due to the feminazis and regressive left. I guarantee Roger and Rafa feel the same but won't say anything becuase speaking the truth has consequences these days.

    If the mens and womens GS were played seperately the mens revenue would hardly change (may even go up tbh) whereas the womens would tank.

    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Equal pay in tennis? Sure, why not. I only pay to go to Wimbledon and it doesn't affect me one little bit if male and female sportsman receive the same money, as there is more than enough to go round. Both sexes take home ridiculous pay for what they do, so as a symbol of equality, then by all means, even it out. Only those with a personal issue or grudge should have any problem with it. The game is awash with money and it shouldn't affect the casual spectator at all.
