This is just simply a question I am curious about. Does New York and the rest of the states that have not sanctioned MMA change their tune due to national network TV coverage? Does this deal matter at all as it pertains to state sanctioning bodies? Please chime in.

I understand this isn't really a fan post but I have been off the grid for about a week or so and came home to this whopper of an announcement. If this question has been proposed before I apologise, I haven't read all the articles yet.
