With sister teams competing there's always rumors that the game will be controlled, we can't remove that assumption as we keep seeing how the league is being practice, either SMC or MVP will win the title and those who are on lower ranks will continue to serve as farm teams, though they are trying to hype the league back giving those low ranks team an exposures showing that they can beat good teams, but I guess that's already late as the trust of most fans is no longer interested with how the games being played.
I'm waiting for MPBL to earn more advertisers and big companies trust, if that happened they will be able to pay big names from PBA and switch them to play with their respectives cities/provinces.
It will be a real competitions for PBA and for sure with how the fans embracing MPBL with additional talents the entertainment and excitement from each provinces and cities that they'll be heading will be jampack!
MPBL is gaining the popularity and more audiences and fans are going there. So, if PBA won't do anything that's interesting and they keep on repeating this sequence coming from the playoffs, semi finals and finals, there's no doubt that they'll be lessened as the oldest basketball league in Asia and will be overtaken by it. Because in the sense of PBA, there's no more competitive drama on it and it's like we all know what's going to be the result of most games up to the season's finals.
Why would people still watch if they know what team will win. It's too late for them, their action on giving tickets is good but it will not work anymore. Just imagine, you have to go through the long traffic just to get to the arena, although that's free but it's not fun to watch anymore. Me, I would just watch my TV since I'm subscribe to Pilipinas Live, so I can also watch anywhere online.
If they will not stop that farm team and monopoly inside, they will never improve.
I think they should be thinking of revamping the PBA by adding more teams, for sure the excitement will grow and people will start putting their interest back.
Exactly, it's just hard to accept that this pro league and known to our country has been getting out of the talks and started to be ignored by the young talents that we're having. And with that, those talents are bringing more viewership to the offshore leagues that we're seeing like KBL and B League. Monopoly and bad management from the current commissioner should be changed and there should be a competition for him to be replaced.
