Tim Kennedy on Fighter Pay, Jake Paul vs Joshua, and Life After Fighting | TFATK Ep. 1150

On this episode of The Fighter and The Kid, Brendan Schaub is joined by Tim Kennedy, who fills in for Bryan Callen, for a deep conversation about fighting, money, and life after competition.

Tim and Brendan break down Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, why the fight was never competitive, how boxing sells narratives, and why surviving rounds isn’t the same as actually fighting. They also dig into the realities of fighter pay, why so many athletes struggle after retirement, and how money, hunger, and discipline affect performance.

The episode also covers training, toughness, parenting, fitness, cold plunges, health, and why being prepared physically matters more than any doomsday plan. It’s an honest look at combat sports, longevity, and what really matters once the fights are over.
