It would require enough mining power to keep the chains alive, this is probably the only chance of keeping a fork of bitcoin alive, and even this is tenuous. Bitcoin Cash has a large support base however very little of that seems to be in the form of miners and you can have all the supporters and users in the world, but if you have no miners then you have no network. Given that they will use the same technology and have the same size block reward it doesn't seem to make sense to mine the currency that is worth less. When difficulty adjusts downwards you may get more block rewards initially but unless the coins hit parity there will always be a benefit in mining the more valuable coin.
