5 reasons why IBL scores over IPL in India

3. Less focus on money

IPL had a huge amount of cash poured in, which became its main cause of diversion from the motive it began with. With cricket being such a well established game in the country, it made it more obvious that huge money would be invested in it from the start. Along with money, entered media and celebrities, which became a perfect mix for entertainment and a profit making business for huge investors.

Agreed that IBL would also concentrate on earning money through one way or another, but it wouldn’t compensate on the game in doing the same, at least in its formative years. But less money invested in this league would be a boon as it would help in avoiding it being a business and concentrate on the game more.

Live streaming of IBL would be done by a sports channel and not any entertainment channel, unlike IPL. Which again keeps more of the jazzy stuff away and connects more to the people interested in sports.
