How will legalized sports gambling affect MMA?

I can see a lot of the bottom feeders benefitting greatly from this, financially speaking.

I'm talking about the likes of Eddie Alvarez, RDA, Tony, etc.

Guys who feel like they should have been paid more.

How? Are you suggesting it will make the sport more popular, thus more revenue, thus better fighter pay?

Because they are not going to directly benefit from the wagering.

Gambling has always been accessible for anyone who wants to wager. This changes nothing.

Guess I'm out of the loop because I didn't even know it was illegal.

It won't have any effect. It has always been legal for people outside the US, and people in the US could easily access these platforms if they wanted to.

It's certainly not gonna affect fighter pay....

The majority of Sherdoggers will still lose money and refuse to post their bet slips
