I don’t know much about the WNBA business model so will leave that to you, but the UEFA Women's Champions League is experiencing significant growth year over year, as is the Women’s World Cup with each installment. One financial issue with women’s tennis is its shorter airtime compared to men’s which obviously impacts advertising $s.
I think women’s sports will only continue to grow in the future which is a win for everyone. Financials aside, super important for young girls to have role models on tv that they can aspire to.
