Jake Paul is expected to earn DOUBLE the amount that Mike Tyson will take home from their highly anticipated fight this weekend.
Paul, 27, and Tyson, 58, will finally meet in the ring on Friday night, with the eyes of the world on AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The bout is expected to be one of the most-watched sports events in history, as it's being streamed on Netflix with no additional costs to subscribers.
But it has proved to be controversial in the boxing community, given the huge age difference between the two fighters and Tyson's health problems in the build-up to the event.

Paul vs Tyson was originally due to take place in July but was forced to be postponed after the former undisputed heavyweight world champion suffered an ulcer flare-up on a flight in May.
Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn has branded the fight "dangerous", while KSI has labelled it "disgusting".
But Paul has hit back his critics, insisting at a press conference on Wednesday that Tyson is a credible opponent and that questions over the former heavyweight world champion's condition were "disrespectful".
How much are Mike Tyson and Jake Paul being paid?
Paul has previously said he expected the fight to be the biggest payday of his career if all bonuses in his contract were paid out.
"There are definitely certain guaranteed figures and other certain built-in bonuses and stuff on top of sales – key performance indicators that trigger certain things," Paul told SPORTbible.
"This is definitely my biggest payday, of all the fights for sure. It is definitely a healthy payday."
talkSPORT has now shed more light on how much each man is being paid to fight this weekend.
It's claimed that Tyson will likely earn one of the top five largest purses of his career, pocketing a guaranteed $20 million (£15.7m) fee for his participation in the fight.
Paul, meanwhile, has suggested he stands to make as much as $40 million (£31.4m) out of the event, which will take place in front of 80,000 people in Texas.
"I'm here to make $40m and knock out a legend," he said at a pre-fight press conference on Wednesday.
Tyson, however, has played down how much he stands to make.
"This fight is not going to change my life financially," he told SPORTbible.
"If I did it for free, it's not going to change my life. My wife is constantly telling me, you do not need to do this fight.
"This is what I want to do, this is me. I'm seeking my glory."
