Michael Porter Jr. expressed surprise after learning about the WNBA's revenue share in a recent podcast episode on August 21, 2026. The WNBA's share has been a topic of discussion, particularly when compared to the NBA’s 50/50 split under its Collective Bargaining Agreement. Lexie Brown detailed how the WNBA players received only about 9% of revenue share, which has seen a decrease over the years. Porter acknowledged the disparity, stating, 'Yeah, that’s crazy,' as Brown explained the WNBA's efforts to improve their revenue share in the past years. Their conversation follows Porter’s earlier controversial comments regarding the league, which led to backlash from players, including Sophie Cunningham who unfollowed him on social media.
