Zuffa received another show of support for a law legalizing MMA in the state of New York with the New York State Association of Counties expressed its support for the bill this week according to the Auburn Citizen.
According to its web site, the NYSAC’s mission is to “represent, educate and advocate for New York counties and thousands of elected and appointed county officials who serve the public.”
The NYSAC’s executive director indicated that “legalizing MMA would generate economic for local municipalities and the state.”
This is the second endorsement of the MMA bill this year as the Business Council of New York state expressed its support for the bill in a legislative memo.
Lorenzo Fertitta acknowledged the support of NYSAC citing that its recognition of the economic potential that MMA would provide for the state.
Payout Perspective:
It appears that the UFC is receiving much more support this year from key stakeholders that it has in years past. Perhaps the key here is the focus on the economic benefits that MMA events would provide for the state. This would not only be the UFC, but other organizations being able to conduct MMA events all over the state. We will continue to monitor Zuffa’s efforts in Albany this year.

MSG in December, boxing trolls getting nervous. HAHAHA!
tops E says
Hahahahaha..big deal…its been years since people cared about ufc getting legalized in ny….its 6 years delayed hahahahaha…the bandwagon has declined
Gambino says
Nervous about 1 event? Boxing already has multiple fights scheduled for MSG and Barclay’s. The UFC won’t even come close to matching Cotto’s gate and attendance numbers.
saldathief says
About time they finally have an event in NY oh wait it’s still not legal yet hahahaha
Those union boys at MSG will run Dana around like a cheap hooker at a bachelor party. hahaha
d says
HAHAHAHA!!! Didn’t take them long to troll. HAHAHA!! Look how nervous they are!!
“Nervous about 1 event? Boxing already has multiple fights scheduled for MSG and Barclay’s. The UFC won’t even come close to matching Cotto’s gate and attendance numbers.”
That one event this year will at least double the revenue from whatever Cotto’s fight is unless his opponent is Mayweather or Pacquaio which is doubtful.
d says
The Union is already caving Sal. The writing is on the wall, you can’t see it because you can’t comprehend anything. HAHAHA!
saldathief says
hahah D has no clue as to how the many unions work out of msg and how they controls the entire building from a to z. And they don’t cave! Obvious again that D has no hands on experience, has no clue how things work, and is just a trolling paid fool with a black belt in google hahah Oh wait D must have played basket ball at MSG between playing all the other sports bahahahah Yea and D knows about Union business he’s a union expert too bahahahah
d says
Sal, you didn’t even know what organized labor was a while back, now you are claiming to be an expert?? HAHAHAHA!!! Also fuckface, the biggest obstacle is the culinary union. They are the one’s who have been lobbying to death to block the vote. Silver took countless money from them and was completely in their pocket, his replacement isn’t. That doesn’t mean they along with the other unions aren’t also still attempting to block this still with their lobbying money, but it appears the MMA is getting tons of support and this vote will go through and pass based on all of the information coming in.
Sal knows about as much about unions as he does business, mma and boxing, which is absolutely nothing. He is a welfare to work boxing paid homosexual troll who sucks Arum’s dick on a daily basis. Troll on fag boy.
saldathief says
Hey dip shit, I’m talking about once the UFC walks into msg, not about some problem with the Culinary union. D why don’t you know about MSG as a building? The things I know you can’t google fuck tard. Here asshole, how many unions does it take to set up a table with a table cloth with a lamp on it inside MSG? Serious question you don’t know and you can’t google the answer. You have no clue about labor, hands on business and the fight game! But you should be in the record book for all the sports you compete in, hey dumb ass even the best collage athletes can’t compete in football, basketball and baseball. You are either a miracle athlete or full of shit hahahah I go with with full of shit!!
saldathief says
So how many votes does the NYSAC have on the state floor? oh wait they have ZERO votes and little influence hahahaha
d says
Sal, why don’t you comprehend any logic, common sense or anything related to this topic? You don’t know shit that is why I call you out on nearly every bullshit lie you claim. I know 1000x more about this subject, and business in general you stupid, smelly retard.
” hey dumb ass even the best collage athletes”
This summarizes how retarded you are. Maybe you should go back to “collage”. Either that or invest in spell check you fucking idiot.
The many contradictions of smelldaqueef:
” I’m talking about once the UFC walks into msg, not about some problem with the Culinary union.”
“So how many votes does the NYSAC have on the state floor? oh wait they have ZERO votes and little influence hahahaha”
Apparently you can’t even follow your own bullshit.
By the way, if you would like to talk about things you can’t google, you should take your own advice, because you don’t know anything about politics, lobbying-specifically how unions and businesses lobby.
Go back to that crusty homo who you troll for, you flaming homo!
saldathief says
Ha you cant answer the question because you know nothing about MSG or any other venue, you cant google the answer and you know nothing about the way unions work especially in an event! You know nothing about production, promotion, the fight business, sports in general and are a google paid retard loser idiot who has no real world experience, oh wait you competed in multi sports at high levels of competition, hey D you never wore a jock in your life! I guarantee it!!! D sounds like a loser school teacher who never had a real job and lectures stupid kids that dont know any better, go back to the library and look at the classifieds and get a real job then come back. Once again D is a clown poser!!! And D knows about NY politics hahah I bet you have never even been to the state of NY fuck dick!
saldathief says
funny there is no mention on their home page only boxing bahahahha
http://www.dos.ny.gov/athletic/index.html
D dances around with bullshit when he cant google the answers Come on D how do the unions work at MSG or any union building? You know 100x more then me I’m waiting? And how does the NYSAC influence the vote on mma?
d says
You are retarded. First off, you act as if you know anything about anything which in itself is retarded. You don’t know entry level information about ppv buys, yet you pathetically attempt to imply I don’t know my shit? HAHAHA!! Nice try dumbass. I had to teach you how the ppv buys were split between promotion and the cable companies. You later proved you knew nothing about unions in general because you didn’t even know the separation between unions and business where I called you out on it idiot. You didn’t literally know what a corporation was, you didn’t know the difference between the federal and state gov’ts and how they enforce laws. You didn’t know how federal income taxes or state taxes work.
You are just a cocksucking, fag for Bob Arum that is paid in welfare to suck his dick and troll on this site. Think about how pathetic you are. You can’t even complete sentences or spell basic words. You have the English reading/comprehension/spelling level of a 10 year old- literally. It is absurd. Most of your statements above, I literally can’t even comprehend because it is just one of your many incoherent tirades that is not legible.
saldathief says
Once again D shows he knows nothing without google and is a pencil pusher fraud who has no experience without a keyboard hahahaha I called your bluff son! Go post on another board or shut the hell up with you nonsense! D has never been to NY ever in his life and has never worked in the industry and has never even been to a ufc fight hahaha but he’s an expert bahahaha
saldathief says
Come on D tell us with all your knowledge about how unions work? Tell us how it goes when producing an event? Tell us how the NYSAC works, tell us how they govern sports in NY. Tell us how big networks produce shows and how deals work in entertainment and sports. You cant because you can’t google they way things really go down, you are so stupid and you dont even know it. Go get a real job and get some experience before you spout shit out of your suck hole. Im sure you would get bitch slapped if you ran your mouth in the real world but instead you are a internet fool. hahahaha free fight pass for this chump , you are not even worth that hahahah
d says
HAHAHAHA!!! Sal tries to act like he knows anything what so ever about this business!!! This fucking retarded didn’t even know that Zuffa wasn’t a corporation. When I called him out on it, he still didn’t even know what the difference was. HAHAHA!!! Sal, I’ve called you out on your bullshit a million times. What you are asking me here is so retarded and senseless, not to mention you don’t know the answer to something like that because you are oblivious as to what a union even is you retard.
I’ve been to NY many of times, I’m not far from there. I’ve seen more ufc’s and mma fights live than you 10x over.
I know a lot more than you do about those subjects. Why don’t you try to tell me Sal, seeing how you don’t know and I’ve called you out on this before, idiot. You keep claiming that FOX gets ppv points! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Fucking retard!!!
You don’t know shit about anything. You are just an old weird, fag for Arum. Stop sucking dick you homo! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Saldathief says
So zuffa was an llc. Once again D running with insignificant points hahahah like it matters. So stupid. i called him out and he blew it. Cant google it and d is useless as his own cock. Hahahah. D is a pretender and a shitty one at that. Still cant get over that boxing doubles ufc ppv and had a much higher ppv average for 2014. Hahaha but d will spin it. And now d cant handle that the biggest ppv ever is going to happen and even Dana is impressed and in awww. D is stuck at home screaming into his pillow. Hahahahha. And d cant admit when he is wrong and when he is out gunned with real facts not google hot air. Oh wait mike tyson , who went out of business as a boxer and promotor is agreeing with D bahahahah 2 ass monkys
d says
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Congrats Daqueef, you finally understand that Zuffa is not a corporation. Of course, this came after I explained it to you and to say that is insignificant goes to show your lack of business awareness once again proving you have no clue.
The rest of what you said there is completely illegible. You come across like a mental patient as always.
