yes , to add to this I once predicted that we will see more migration of chess players to poker , including pro chess players , the reason is the top say 2 in the world in chess will play a championship with prize money only around 4million or so total , this is a small amount compared to the amount of work and sacrifice these players have done to get to this point , really !  I felt a lot of chess players who have only put say 20% of this effort are now successfully playing poker by comparison, so saving themselves mentally and physically , maybe chess tournaments in future could take something from poker and each player buys in for x amount + sponsorship , I'm sure it is done but just not enough numbers as poker , some sports are purely about finding sponsorship which fits their product somehow into the sport, they're exceptions , Golf for example is hardly sponsored by gold equipment companies ( Nike is more clothing in general than equipment) of course I stand to be corrected about this as I haven't googled it , also boils down to how easy for viewers to be excited about and to watch live and on TV etc , tv money is huge , 
end of speech for now :)
