The only way women sports could garner enough interest to generate investment in the sport is if they played topless. People are simply not that interested in watching them play because in the grand scheme on professional sports they barely make the cut talent wise.

Yep. They might be top-level within their own peer group, but the physical differences between male and female are astronomical. Men are stronger, faster, and have much more stamina. Not even close.

I admit that I found it interesting to watch:
Lingerie Tackle Football.

Ladies Ice Skating.

Women's Beach Volleyball.

Well...Beach Volleyball I would definitely rather watch than men from a sports perspective, of course...

Fzob - it depends.

Women’s tennis generates as much viewership as men’s so the winning amounts are similar.

But football? no

Back when I watched sports (before the BLMization of all sports), I only watched professional men's sports. If I was going to spend 3 hours a pop watching a game, it had to be at the highest level (but I would never watch soccer no matter who was playing).
