Martina Navratilova says John McEnroe, a seven-time Grand Slam winner, was paid at least “10 times more” than she was for their Wimbledon commentating roles.
Navratilova said she makes £15,000 ($21,000) covering Wimbledon, while McEnroe makes “at least £150,000 ($210,000),” she said.
“Unless John McEnroe’s doing a whole bunch of stuff outside of Wimbledon, he’s getting at least 10 times as much money as I am for very comparable work,” Navratilova said to BBC Panorama.
And she’s “not happy” about that. Navratilova knows this is just a two-week gig for her, but extrapolate that for women working full-time for the BBC, and she’s “angry.”
