This matters in regards to real-life promotion/relegation because being relegated usually means a big hit to revenue. Football clubs demoted out of the Premier League, for example, lose a significant television broadcasting contract payment. (This blow has been lessened to a degree by so-called 'parachute' payments so a demoted club gets a portion of the television contract payment it used to get, but it's still a sizable reduction in revenue.)
