Jake Paul is the reason boxing has become more popular than ever - Brendan Schaub

Brendan Schaub recently commented on the impact that Jake Paul has had on the sport of boxing. He declared that Paul has made the sport popular again.

During the latest edition of The Schaub Show, risking the wrath of boxing purists and hardcore fans, 'Big Brown' credited Paul for effectively reviving the sport.

He admitted that the YouTuber-turned-boxer's brother Logan Paul had also played an important role in bringing new eyes to the sport. He further asserted that the Paul brothers were what boxing needed at this point in time.

"Look at the analytics. The reason boxing has become more popular than ever is because of Jake Paul. That is black and white. You can hate on me all you want. The reason boxing views are up is because of Logan and particularly Jake Paul. Boxing needed that to get people to f***ing tune in."

Schaub also offered his take on why boxing has declined over the years. He argued that corruption was a massive problem in the sport and that it was something that could make its way into MMA as well.
