I think it's smart. I would be able to run short summer leagues at most and it's hard to find consistency in battle mods.
The problem with no leagues is, without these six weeks of battles I don't know who would be tapped for a ppv. The BA title defense (challenger announced tomorrow) was a match partially decided by who was dropping dope. Kind of hard to tell who's gonna show for a high profile match when I don't know if they can even do 10 lines
Also, the league helped stir the shit. It's making bleak vs Flow (hammering out details now) way more interesting.
I think the PPV only model is less interesting, but it may be the situation right now
