Yay..... #5 player vs #22 player. Oh sooo exciting. FIDE has screwed up the wc match again, we need to go back to the zonals, then the interzonals, then candidates matches. It's very possible to comfortably do that over a 2 year span.

That be true though lol

Wait, does that mean whoever wins get $2,500,000USD? That's a lot. 

Haha indeed! Here's how it's split:

The prize fund allocated for the event is US$2.5 million.
Each player receives US$200,000 for each game won (including forfeits), and the remainder of the money is split equally.
If there is a tiebreak, however, the winner will receive US$1.3 million and the loser will receive US$1.2 million. That will also be the distribution if the final score is 7½–6½ with 13 decisive games or 8–6 with 14 decisive games.
