The fight for the ages marks Netflix’s first foray into live boxing, with over 250 million subscribers expected to watch the bout.
That’s why Paul doesn’t want to leave any stone unturned in preparing himself for this great fight.
he told Complex“For this Tyson fight, we’re making the most expensive fight shorts ever.
“We have something crazy planned. We’re trying to make a statement. We’re planning on doing about $1 million.”
Paul and Tyson will split a whopping $80million (£60million) for their fight.
This is a good thing for the YouTuber turned boxer, as he spent over $64,000 (£47,000) on shoes while filming with Complex.
But he also gifted his whole team a pair of trainers, as well as his Dutch speedskater girlfriend Jutta Leerdam.
Apart from this, he also bought shoes for his brother Logan, who is expecting a daughter with his model fiancée Nina Agdal.

Paul – who turned professional in 2020 – is expected to have his boxing earnings exceed $100m (£75m) by the time he shares the ring with Tyson.
He said: “Not bad at all, man, I can’t believe it. I’ve exceeded all my expectations in life and boxing and everything else.”
“So whatever happens next is just a gift and I’m enjoying it and trying to inspire other kids, because I’m actually from Ohio.
“I grew up in a working class family in the middle of this city and I didn’t know what was out there in this world.
“And it just goes to show that if you want to do something, you just have to go for it.”
