Of course.

In entertainment things are different, it should be on the basis of how much of an audience someone draws. Female tennis players managed to get away with being paid the same as men even though fewer people are actually interested in them. They managed to do this by being on the same tour as the men and insisting that they have to get the same prize money from whoever sponsors the event. If they were on a separate tour though they would have to fund the prize money purely on their own game and would get less for sure.
