So do the leagues, which is why they won't even consider expelling the money making clubs. It's on the fans to prove they can seriously walk away. Given that over the years they've continuously shown up after every single money making move by the clubs, I'm not all that confident the current bluster will amount to more than a fork in the road.
If these mega clubs play each other every week, it loses its appeal.

Are you getting pumped for a mid-week February matchup between Mathews and Leafs vs Crosby and the Pens? We probably get bored of big club vs big club as much as West Brom v Middlesbrough.

The prospect of big upsets in both domestic and European competitions is a lot more fun IMO.
