You might be surprised how little money there is in chess.

  Total purse was $300k, Magnus got $100k of that for winning.

    Which confirms the point, right?

      100%.

      It's not chess but a variant. Maybe it has ~10-100 times less viewer base.

        I wish it was more popular - it’s more enjoyable to watch and play since it’s not nearly as much prep / memorization

        I suspect Magnus draws a similar level of attention regardless, it's probably closer to half the viewer base
