Episode 41: Straight Shootin Rant Episode 41 - Mayweather vs Logan Paul, Can gimmick matches save boxing?

The Straight Shootin' Rants

*Warning, video contains profanity* Straight Shootin' LJA gives his opinion on the Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul incident where Paul stole Mayweather's cap leading up to their 'exhibition' fight on Sunday 6th June 2021, how the media tried to negatively portray Mayweather even though Logan Paul was the antagonist and what this kind of fight means in regards to the state of current boxing. SSLJA looks at whether or not crossover/exhibition are just gimmicks and whether or not sporting crossover fights can actually be helpful to their respective sports, or they're just vehicles to help the individuals taking part line their pockets, hurting the credibility of their respective sports, especially a boxer the calibre of Floyd Mayweather. SSLJA dives into other examples of fighters crossing into other sports (such as Ken Shamrock & Dan Severn from UFC into WWE in the 90s) and whether the lack of 'big draws' in boxing since the 90s and especially since Mayweather's retirement is causing the sport of boxing to become desperate for these gimmick bouts to get attention back to the sport. #FloydMayweather #LoganPaul #Boxing #PPV #ExhibitionFight #MayweathervPaul #Youtube #GimmickFight #MikeTyson #ChrisEubank #AnthonyJoshua #TysonFury #LennoxLewis #EvanderHolyfield #MuhammadAli #UFC #WWE #KenShamrock #DanSevern #MMA #Fighting #entertainment #sportsentertainment #money #skyboxoffice #HBO #media
