I'm just thinking of the worse outcome that can happen when they let go this venue for their products because there are other leagues that if they jump in, for sure it's going to blow out and will also become popular. Wherever the players are, fans and customers will follow so these two tycoons will be jumping in for whatever they like if they see it's no longer profitable and beneficial for them. But yeah, this is far from happening and we can just think of the worst possible thing to come but right now, as long as the league continues, everything's good.
Just the same, as long as the league continues and these two business tycoons still taking part in the game will continue to bring entertainment to all the fans and viewers. All possibilities are there and indeed, if they both don't see any advantages to their business, they can easily switch to other leagues.
So far it's not what we are seeing and they are still enjoying whatever help the league is bringing to their businesses, and that's good for now since we will enjoy their help even in this time of pandemic season.
As long as they are raking the benefits of it whether the revenues are not the same as before, they'll stay in the league.
Two possible scenarios that might happen if those 2 big names jumped into another league.
1. PBA might go down and another PH league will arise.
2. PBA will try to recover by adding more teams coming from different companies.
Basketball here in our country is business lets face it and the league is revolving around 2 companies namely SMC and MVP companies and teams. Without the 2 of them, there will be no PBA and the league might crumble as well. These losses coming from the league isn't permanent and I believe that the league will recover from its losses. The only problem is that "how sustainable the league is during this pandemic".
We already read that the league lost 70 Million with the bubble that they did last year. In the end, I believe that the Pangilinans and the Cojuangco's will not leave the league. They're businessmen and losses in a business is already normal for them. They are thinking long term and they believe that the league will recover once the pandemic has ended.
1. There are already the other leagues that have been gaining traction but there's still a lack of support from most of the basketball fans.
2. This is the other way of their recovery at least for the players but will be hard for the PBA. (

I think the usual addition of more teams from different companies is really an option for them. But isn't there a rule that they're only limited to the current slot or they can expand as many as they can as long as they passed the requirements that the PBA has set?
