Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3225992, member: 7748"] Relevant data on television attendance NBA vs. WNBA. This is All-Star game television ratings. It appears that in 2018 over ten times as many people watched the NBA All-Star game as the WNBA All-Star game. I think this might be relevant because All-Star game yoviewetship might be for the casual fan as opposed to the hardcore fan. If that theory is correct it reveals the wide discrepancy and interest between these two sports. As I've tried to argue in this thread the demand for entertainment labor is a derived demand based on the size of the audience. For a market to be sustainable wages and other costs of production must be in line with the revenue generated. By that I mean those costs of production must be less than total revenue allowing for enough profit to incentivize an entrepreneur to the continued production.
