Nice attempt at twisting my words.
I said the last women's WC got 800m viewers. This is pretty popular.
Fifa funds both the men's and women's international tournaments for prize money.
As Fifa is supposed to be a non-profit entitiy its function is to fairly distribute funds. I don't believe over £300m to the men's prize money and under £30m to the women's is fair distribution.
Fifa give out prize money from the money raised. In the case of men it was 9% of the money raised from their world cup. In the case of women it was 13%.
The men get more yes because they raise more. Same as premier league players get paid more than those in the belgium or dutch leagues.
The us team that seem to be complaining are not living hand to mouth. They earn a good living. They just want more.
