^ so many leagues, I don't have interest left for those, especially the smaller ones like MLC.

LOL.. I will not consider the Major League Cricket (MLC) as a "smaller one". A lot of money is being poured in, and United States is the largest market for sports in the world. MLC started last year and this is just the second season. Even then, they have achieved great deal of success. And more importantly, majority of the revenues are being generated within the United States and they are not very dependent on other markets such as India. I would predict that MLC would start rivalling the IPL in less than 5 years from now.

I judge from what I see and empty stadiums don't give me a good vibe about tourney. USA might be a largest market for sports, but cricket is not much famous there. MLC bigger than IPL? No way that happen, passion for cricket in India versus in other nations is no match.

Like I said, this is just the second season of the MLC, and already they have arranged good media rights as well as sponsorship deals. On the other hand, full member countries such as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are struggling to keep their franchise T20 leagues profitable. Many of the MLC franchises are owned by IPL heavyweights (such as Knight Riders Group and Super Kings Cricket Limited). In the coming years I have no doubt that MLC will grow and expand at a healthy pace.
