For what it is worth most people...players, media, and fans who I have talked to personally that have had experience in both leagues compare MLS to the Championship League in England talent wise.

I've watched a lot of both and I would say bottom of the championship-top of league 1 is the standard. Clubs of that standard would get about 8-12,000 fans watching on average (depends on the size of the city/town) over here.
If Man Utd were suddenly based in New York and had regular season games against Chelsea and Liverpool etc there would be massive demand from people in the States. People always want to see global superstars and the top sportsmen perform. 2nd/3rd tier players not so much...
