The world championship pays 250k to the winner. The US Open 100k. Several other tournaments 10s of 1000s. The top players are now getting 6 figure sponsorships. They can earn more in exhibitions in a day than many people in the first world earn in 2 weeks. It's hardly third world status - maybe not yet a "minor major" sport like its bedfellows snooker and darts, but it's doing all right for itself.Uh...do you like that our sport is third world status?
