So these guys have to spend a bunch of time flying, when they could just be relaxing and enjoying the day and meeting their teams the next day in Miami.

That's definitely the dumbest part of the whole plan. I can see a few more people watching it if it's before the superbowl, but the overall logistics of it and the fact that the probowlers from the two top teams won't be playing adds up to the nfl moving it back to it's original spot for next year.
Personally I've never watched it, and likely won't this year as well. If there was some way to make it less meaningless I might tune in.
