Are they in proportion to the payout?

These are straight questions because you'd think popularity drives the advertising rates which drive the TV dollars which drive the payouts.

How about ticket demand?

Are the stadiums full of spectators?
Yes in Portland....19,461, even without 9 WC starters. *

I'm assuming TV money is the main source of the $$. *

was about listed at 11K (and I doubt it was that big).

The big issue that is going to likely kill the US women's team complaint is that they collectively bargained for their payments. I doubt a court is going to let them off the hook for the poor deal they struck and tell them to negotiate a better deal next time.
The men's World Cup makes orders of magnitude more

The Women's World Cup brought in almost $73 million, of which the players got 13%. The 2010 men's World Cup in South Africa made almost $4 billion, of which 9% went to the players.

The men still pull the World Cup money wagon. The men's World Cup in Russia generated over $6 billion in revenue, with the participating teams sharing $400 million, less than 7% of revenue. Meanwhile, the Women's World Cup is expected to earn $131 million for the full four-year cycle 2019-22 and dole out $30 million to the participating teams.
