    Episode 41: Straight Shootin Rant Episode 41 - Mayweather vs Logan Paul, Can gimmick matches save boxing?
    Jun 5 2021
    *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

    Mar 26 2021
    Have superhero films been ruined by poor storytelling? Are content providers giving poor shows too much opportunity? Does Hollywood lack creativity? Straight Shootin' LJA gives his opinion on the Hollywood trend of rebooting films and making movies out of almost anything including views on Antman vs The Wasp, which to him is a sign of desperation and lack of creativity by movie producers. SSLJA talks about the poor storytelling in superhero movies that has ruined his enjoyment of the franchises and the fact that content providers such as Amazon Prime and especially Netflix, seem to be ending good shows in their prime, just to make way for new content that isn't as well executed.

    *Warning, video contains profanity* Straight Shootin' LJA gives his opinion on the utterly botched (at every turn) handling of the Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 and Boris Johnson finally (after a year of Covid being on these shores) 'taking responsibility' & 'apologising' as Britain reached the horrible milestone of 100,000 Covid-19 deaths.
