But if one tournament is hosting men and women, should the champion of one side be paid more? Do the women not train and work as hard as the men? Does a championship mean less to a WTA player than it does to an ATP player?
And as Serena pointed out, the Women's final at Flushing Meadows last year sold out long before the men's did.

I thought besides the majors and a few other tournaments, the women and men are usually participating in different locations? I agree if they are in participating in the exact same tournament and location at the same time, they should get paid the same, but otherwise it should be based on revenues generated.
