I agree, it's not all about the ticket prices or other cost in purchasing merch, it's all about people and the supporters are losing interest with them because of repetitive teams playing in the semis, supporters know how the team plays and they can easily predict who will become the winning team, But I don't know if there's still a lot of people still watching them once it was aired on television.

There are still some but most of them are those who are betting on the games. Actually, they can reach many viewers online like their facebook stream depending on the teams that are playing, if it's Ginebra then that's guaranteed they'll get a good number of viewers. However, there's a problem with their streaming as it's not really a live telecast but more likely a delayed telecast, that's why people would just choose to watch from the illegal streamers as they provide what people are looking for. Just imagine you are betting on a certain game but what you are watching was a delayed telecast, how can you win?

yeah right, interest even with the bettors will decrease with how the league managements taking care of their live games, just like you mentioned, why bother to bet in a certain events only to find out that the game was alreadt done, it's best for them to take a gambler with how they will bring the fans trust and interest.

If they can add more teams which is not part of the big two franchises or also not a part of the farm team, or like what we are discussing previously about inviting overseas teams which very effective the last time they offer it.

It's more on the adjustments and willingness of the management that may survive the league in terms of fans interest.

I think for now that they could not accomodate new teams then they should invite overseas teams and play with the league. With that, the season will be more competitive, and even though the farm tems still exist but people would not mind that as they want to see the best teams in the PBA playing against an overseas teams in the playoffs, or in the Finals at best.

Anyway, let's discuss on the game last night. Have you seen the game between Meralco and Magnolia? I think they have the lowest output in a single game not sure if they already made history on this one, Meralco 74 - Magnolia 51 points.. 51.. yes that's it, have you seen a team that went to the finals last season and only scored 51 points in the entire game? I think this team really have a problem, and although they secured their playoff spot already but I think they'll be having a problem in the series if they cannot figure out their offense problem.

We are desperate to see the PBA go back to its old days in terms of popularity, so I hope they'll listen to the people as they can read a lot of suggestions and criticism, that means people are still caring on the PBA and they don't want this oldest basketball league to close because team owners are not getting the benefits of what they have invested anymore.

There are still time and I know if they'll really work on it it's possible because they have funds and these giant teams are gonna help to make it happen. You know, the owner of MOA could benefit since games are held in that venue, so with people interested in watching the game because PBA is competitive again, they can easily get their investment.
