I'll give you more time if needed?
I'll take the high road and not stoop to your level with an equally insulting reply, so I'll just point out that the $600K is for both men and women. The $199K/$336K from 1992 was just for men.
Purses for women (no pun intended) were significantly smaller than for men until recently, so without knowing the 1992 women's prize purse, it's likely that the combined M&W prize money in 1992 was indeed less than that for 2016, in today's dollars, but strictly looking at the men, it's lower than it was in 1992.
Exactly
