25 out of 35 do

per BBC article here: User Posted Link

"The study found 35 sports pay prize money at world level, 25 pay equal prize money, 10 do not. Cycling pays equal prize money in some events but not others. Men and women compete together in horse racing and equestrian. The research was carried out by Jo Gunston and the prize money was converted to ? sterling on 15 October 2014. "

And you can run the same "more people watch the men's 100m final than the women's 100m final". It doesn't wash.

If you want to go down that road, pay everyone 10p per viewer and be done with it. Then some men will earn more than some women, some women will earn more than some men. But there is no justification for paying men more just because they are men.
