Anybody know the economics of this regarding the revenue generated by both World Cup tournaments?
According to BBC commercial rights are sold as a package with other men’s competitions so can’t be isolated in that way.
FIFA awarded over 10 times the prize money to men’s world cup compared to women’s.
Players are paid by their national associations so pay comparisons vary. In a couple of countries (NZ and Norway) men and women are paid the same when representing their country.

Plus isn't the pay gap talking about the wages rather than just during the world cup?

Plus the men's prize money for winning the world cup percentage wise of overall income is higher than the women's is too.
Seems a bit simplistic to reduce it to what he has. Especially when ignoring how popular the women's game could become with decent investment and decent wages.
Surely this is an approximation as the sponsorship is split between both tournaments? There's no facts or references to where their figures come from. Either way, the governing bodies actively stopped women from playing so they should get more money than they earn to grow the game, which in turn will make more money.
How much are they demanding?
Is it correct that the USA womens team generate more revenue than the USA mens team?
I get the feeling you’ve chosen a position without knowing any of the facts again and that’s why you can’t answer the question.
The equal pay equal play campaign and litigation that is currently ongoing is related to the wages the US national team players are played of which the USWNT brings in slightly more revenue.
The World Cup prize money has been discussed because percentage wise the men get a bigger cut but that’s not what the court case and campaign are about.
The Wall Street Journal reports that from 2016 to 2018, U.S. women's games generated about $50.8 million in revenue, compared with $49.9 million for men's games.
News today that France earned $38 million from FIFA for winning soccer's World Cup in Russia, while the women's champion in France this summer will earn just $4 million, has prompted outrage.
The total prize money for the Women's World Cup in France this July will be $30 million compared with total prize money of $440 million for the men's teams at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“The difference between the men’s and women’s prize money is ridiculous,” Tatjana Haenni, who oversaw women’s soccer for FIFA before stepping down in 2017, said, according to the Associated Press. “It’s really disappointing the gap between the men’s and women’s World Cups got bigger. It sends the wrong message.”
