Same thing with the WNBA. If it weren't for massive subsidies from the NBA, the WNBA wouldn't exist. I'd wager that most women couldn't name their local WNBA team, let alone ever attend a game...
Once women's tennis started bringing in the revenue, they started receiving the same prize money (for less work, btw, since they only play 3 sets vs 5 sets for the men in the major tournaments...)
