Bobby Riggs, the dominant figure in 1940s tennis, transitioned into an outspoken male chauvinist after his professional career. He openly
disrespected female tennis players and confidently claimed he could
defeat any female professional.
In 1973, the famous "Battle of the Sexes" unfolded, pitting Bobby
Riggs against Billie Jean King, a renowned female tennis professional.
This high-profile match garnered massive attention, with around 90
million viewers tuning in from around the world. Riggs's defeat was
witnessed by a global audience as Jean claimed the winner's prize of
$100,000 (equivalent to over $670,000 today).
