Caitlin Clark had a historic game in the season-opener against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Saturday, recording her third career triple-double in the blowout win. However, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy profited the most from the Fever star's performance.After the game, Portnoy posted his win from the bet he placed on Clark's triple-double outing. He bet $25,000 and made $350,000.Michael Ginnitti, the co-founder of Spotrac, shared Portnoy's post on X to compare his winnings to the salary of the players. Ginnitti highlighted that he won more money in a bet than any WNBA player would earn in a year."The Barstool prez cashed more off of Caitlin Clark’s triple double yesterday than any WNBA player will earn on the court in 2025 ($249,244 max salary)," Ginnitti tweeted.The pay gap between WNBA and NBA players has been a big debate, especially in the last few years. While it is understandable that the WNBA generates less revenue than the NBA, the massive gap continues to raise eyebrows.According to Statista, in 2024-25, the average annual salary of an NBA player is more than 100 times what their WNBA counterparts earn in a season. Caitlin Clark superfan Dave Portnoy slams WNBA for poor managementWhile Dave Portnoy made the most from Caitlin Clark's historic triple-double, he didn't have the best time at Gainbridge Fieldhouse arena. The Barstool Sports founder was in attendance for the season-opener game between the Sky and the Fever, and he showed up as the biggest Clark fan.From top to bottom, Portnoy was dressed in her Indiana jersey. He was in good spirits until he went to the food lounge. Portnoy called out the WNBA "cheapskates" for the setup before he picked up one of the signature pizzas."Wild setup," Portnoy said. "The only NBA stadium I've been in where the food, the drinks — everything is separate. WNBA, you've got to stop being cheapskates. When you're in floor seats, it's all-inclusive. Not a wristband for chips, a different wristband for food. A different wristband for this. Disgusting."After tasting the pizza, Portnoy rated it 2.2 and called it "trash."
