The women sell more tickets then the men every year. They play more domestic games, so their per game attendance is less, but total attendance is more.
The women most likely move more product then the men. It's been a point of speculation and contention for years...USSF refuses to break out product sales by gender, but it doesn't take a genius to be able to see all the little Mia's out there wearing jerseys. The men's side? Not so much.
The reason the men generate SO much more money then the women is they are LUCKY to piggy back on international interest and money. The money generated by CONCACAF and FIFA events dwarfs anything on the women's side. the reality is that the men are just fortunate that soccer is so popular world wide.
Quite honestly...if the men didn't suck so bad the last world cup qualifying then the DA / GDA would probably still be around. The men blowing those tens or millions of dollars for USSF had huge ripples.
