The Schaub Show

On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan Schaub breaks down the story of Jack Doherty and three of his friendstrying to step up to Andrei Arlovski — and why that kind of confidence gets people hurt fast. Brendan explains the massive difference between influencer bravado and real fighting experience, why heavyweight legends like Arlovski operate in a completely different reality, and how internet fame can warp people’s sense of danger. The conversation highlights why stepping to a real professional fighter isn’t entertainment, isn’t a joke, and isn’t something numbers or followers prepare you for. The episode also dives into influencer fight culture, ego, clout, and why fans consistently underestimate what elite fighters are capable of, even later in their careers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of The Schaub Show, Brendan Schaub gives his unfiltered breakdown of Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, why the fight was never competitive, and why calling it “brave” completely misses the point. Brendan explains how the fight should have been marketed, why the idea of a “puncher’s chance” doesn’t apply at this level, and how boxing continues to sell narratives that casual fans don’t fully understand. He also breaks down the difference between actually engaging in a fight versus surviving for rounds, why the money changes everything, and why this kind of matchup could only happen in boxing. The episode also touches on boxing vs MMA, how real fighting works at the elite level, the role of promotion and streaming platforms, and why Jake Paul has been able to exploit a broken system while making more money than most champions ever will.DraftKings - Download the DraftKings Sportsbook app and use code SCHAUBSHOW.
