They bunch it all up into one figure, probably because the guys typically make 20x what the girls make when they aren't parading around on some WC celebration tour.

No. They break revenues down by men and women. Except for TV/sponsorships. Which aren't sold by gender.

And their projections have the women making more this year when neither team has a World Cup. Not exactly 20 times less than the men.

Meanwhile, in each team's respective WC year, the men brought in 27.6 million in revenue. The women 26.7 million.

So pay them more if that's the numbers. This isn't a difficult conversation. If they bring in that kind of market value then pay them.

You take into account the $ per games played? That'll tell you the better story. If the women are playing 4 or so more games in a year and the numbers end up similar, then it seems like the total cumulative they make that year should be around the same. That doesn't mean you have to pay the women more per match.
