      How does this league sustain itself? It looks very similar to MBA but alas, financial constraints closed down the MBA.

      While PBA is still the premier Pinoy league, this isn't bad. Given the popularity of basketball in the country, there are many aspiring players and MPBL can absorb some of them. This can also be another ground in developing young local talents especially that some PBA greats seem to have "retired" to this league like Jayjay Helterbrand

      I'm just worried about the financial longetivity of the league, though

        The MBA was a professional league that directly competed with the PBA.

        MPBL maintains itself as an amateur league. They keep the costs down by playing three games in one venue (mostly in Metro Manila) and I believe have maximum player salary is Php50K. Teams are mostly supported by LGUs with the help of corporate sponsorhip. If managed the right way, they can sustain it but it would probably best that they lessen the number of teams as most are not competitive anyway. With more teams, the quality of play suffers as most teams fill in their roster spots with old, has-beens or those who are better off playing in inter-village/office tournaments.

          Zamboanga was held to 28 points. That's their end score. Is the D really that good or is it a product of something else?

            28 points for a team that has Santillan, Black and Pasaol.

              I couldn't agree with you more on this.

              Having 31 teams in the MPBL is just too much considering that we already have the PBA, the PBA D-League, & the NBL.
              "A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

                Yes yes... unbelievable but effort was there defense was there, its just that these are aspiring pros and they usually make 10 out of ten three pointers in drills
                To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..

                    This is not sarcasti, just trying to understand.
                    Can you explain how MPBL is considered amateur? Are the players 50K allowance only or is there something I missed? Or is saying we're an amateur league enough to be considered as such?

                      Even in a very good defensive game 28 points is just too low for a 40 mins. game. both teams can make a new MPBL arena with all the bricks they shot.

                      can you bet a team will not score more than 50pts. in a game on online betting sites?

                          The proper term should actually be "semi-pro". By definition, players receive salaries but not high enough to consider playing in the league as a full-time profession. That is why most of their players have other day jobs or are playing in another tournament (Ligang Labas or PBA DLeague) at the same time. Volleyball leagues such as PVL and PSL are also considered as semi-pro.

                          The term "amateur" best fits the collegiate leagues like the UAAP or NCAA wherein players are full-time students and play for the love of the game and the school without pay. But of course that is not the case

                            Whoa! Same level as IBL? That can't be. They have the fast and soon the furious will follow him!

                              That final score though

                              Zamboanga looks to save face after record 47-28 loss to Davao

                              As game goes South, Zamboanga gets in the record books for the wrong reason

                                That doesn't sound very encouraging coming from your top scorer..
