Should men and women receive the same pay?

I do believe women and man should be paid the same! why don't they - many reasons but primarily due to marketing. media contributes greatly to what attracts sponsors etc. I like to watch both male and female basketball, one is based on slam dunk and the other on game play and tacktics. because i follow both male and female basketball I am often reminded how little is discussed through our media channels about women's basketball even though on the world stage our women do lot better then our men. i strongly believe that the degree of media attention and marketing impacts on what spectators follow. anyway its up to us men to get behind our women and support them to achieve equal stage. We men tend to take our women to watch men sports, having said that I guess its women who should start following and promoting support for female sports and instead of having men take them to a men's game they start taking men to women's games. If 3 of these could be encouraged we would see equality in pay. 1 - media, 2 - sponsorship, 3 -female's encouraging female sports.

Perhaps they should, But you can only pay as much as they earn, and for example if the WNBA brings in $2m per year you cant pay your players $86m like in the NBA.

But different sports are slightly different as already stated with tennis. Perhaps maybe swimming, dont know how they get paid here but interest is similar, so salaries probably should be around the same.

The main thing is on a larger scale, people prefer to watch mens sport, therefore more cash.

In a different industry like Fashion, womens clothes make shitloads more than mens, so women models would get paid more.
