After a large number of the poker community stayed up to watch Floyd Mayweather improve his boxing record to 50 wins from 50 fights by defeating Conor McGregor, their attention shifted to trying to improve their own poker records in online poker’s Sunday Majors.
One tournament, the $200,000 guaranteed Title Fight at partypoker, attracted 1,045 entries who created a $209,000 prize pool. The top 136 finishers received prize money for the efforts, a min-cash weighing in at $480.70, a final table appearance coming in at $2,717 and $35,948 reserved for the eventual champion.
