    To be active in Large tournaments is profitable only if the player is good enough to win some of them.

    This tournaments demand some travels and other costs that can be paid by a sponsor. But, again, it is very unlikely someone would get a sponsor without being good enough.

    Many sports have a large public that pays to watch games, buy jerseys and other stuff. So the athlets are well payed. Chess has a small public that would do similar things.
