Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League

[calvinzero]

There are so many basketball aficionados that had hesitations on the league that will form by Senator Manny Pacquiao. But despite of this, wow, it becomes emerged on new heights by opening it only last week of January featuring the teams from the cities within Luzon and NCR area, for the meantime. Pacquiao has a clear vision on how this league will run by deploying some formats (of course, there are some changes) that will benefit the fans who are looking for new flavor of Pinoy brand of basketball.

 

Right now, in their official Facebook page, it records a total of 60k likes and followings.

 

I'm hoping for the best on MPBL. They should more rely on their motto " Liga ng Bawat Pilipino" to make every city happy.

 

By the way, here are the pioneer cities incorporated with their respective sponsors:

 

• Bataan Defenders BaiShipping

 

• Batangas Tanduay Athletics

 

• Bulacan Kuyas Ligo Sardines

 

• Caloocan Supremos Longrich

 

• Imus Bandera-Glc Trucks & Equipments

 

• Muntinlupa Cagers Angeli's Resort

 

• Navotas Clutch Big J Sports

 

• Parañaque Patriots Yakimix

 

• Quezon City Capitals Royal MNL (Manila is proper pronounciation)

 

• Valenzuela Classic Yulz

As much as I hate Pac on politics side, I would give props to the man for establishing a league like this.

I hope they can become more successful and not fade like the MBA.

media giant abs cbn is a big help for MPBL,

kudos to pacman

Honestly, I'm worrying to PBA right now in terms of crowd attendance. Kahit nag iba na ng leadership, and binaba ng konti ang ticket price sa mga venues, wala siyang impact.

 

Maybe this is the proper time to shift to city versus city rivalries in order to have this league stay alive a little longer.

 

MPBL is an opened-eye for the basketball fans.

 

Maybe Marcial should check this kind of setup.

Yung Maharlika ligang pang baranggay hehehe inilapit sa masa... alam mo nman ang pinoy basta may larong basketball at mura ticket at possible pang libre eh manonood yan!

 

nakatuwa na rin na yung mga nsabing laos na PBA players eh naglalaro pa rin sa ligang ito.

 

maganda yung konsepto... pero ang tanong lng eh can this league survive? ilang taon lng ba itinagal ng MBL 4 years due to financial problem nagisa-isang nalagas yung mga teams!

If this league wants to live long, MPBL should learn lessons from MBA's mistakes.
Kudos to Pacman for financially backing up this up-and-coming basketball league.

IMHO, ang naging mali ng MBA noon is they tried to compete with the PBA instead of trying to discover talents from their home province to prepare them for the big league which is the PBA

[ryujin6190]

Another reason why MBA folded is due to removing the maximum salary cap of players.

Still a work in progress. For now, I don't see people (especially the paying class) going to the games. Has lots of potential though.

Lots of Ex PBA players here.

 

Gary David plays for Bataan

Val Acuna plays for Batangas (currently flawless 6-0)

 

di to kaya gayahin ng PBA, unang una, konti lang ang teams, at hindi mo basta basta pwede paglaruin ang mga players sa mga so so playing courts, remember, may investments ang mga companies sa kanila so safety ang priority lalo na pag may import. Babayad ka pa ng hotel, tapos travel expenses kada laro. masyadong magastos to para sa PBA teams. Considering kung gano kalaki ang sahod ng mga players sa PBA kumpara sa mga sahod dito sa MPBL

 

ang kailangan ng PBA para magmura ang tiket at dumugin ng tao ay sariling venue/court. hindi yung kada games iba iba, pag sariling court na pwede na magmura ang tiket kasi hindi na sila babayd ng upa sa gahaman na si MVP.

 

Dapat nga SMC corp ang mag finance ng sariling court ng PBA, tutal SMC teams lalo na BGSM lang ang may kayang mag hakot ng fans sa venue.

What's also good about this league all their venues are full packed! Unlike the PBA nowadays

of course i expect mo na full pack ang venue lalo na pag maglalaro ang home team.

compare mo naman sa tickets sa PBA, pinakamahal lang na tiket sa MPBL ay 100 pesos, magtataka ka pa ba bakit mas full pack ito sa PBA? lol

 

pag empleyado pa ng munisipyo at kamaganak ng team management libre ang tiket. mapupuno talaga yan
