“I don’t know what it’s based on in football, golf or modeling. Why do women earn more than men in fashion? I don’t know. But there we don’t talk about the salary difference all day (… .) Sometimes women will earn more, other times men will earn more, what has to be achieved is that not because they are men or because they are women they earn more or less, but because of the quality of your work and what you be able to sell or generate. Everything else, I’m sorry but it’s hypocrisy “

Although Medvedev has not expressed his opinion so emphatically, he has quoted Rafa, sharing what the Balearic tennis player said at the time. “He said that he was tired of these questions and that he was just doing his job, I think. He said exactly: if I earn more than women, good for me. But what can I do? If they earn more, good for me too. I will continue doing my job. I think the same. I would be happy if the winner in Berlin gets a million, no problem. But I don’t know how to tell you why things are like thishe concluded.
