Paul vs Tyson is finally upon us and people are talking about their walk-out songs.

The pair initially planned to box in the summer but just two months before their bout the once undisputed two-time heavyweight champion of the world was forced to pull out due to an 'ulcer flare up'.

Fans have forked out as much as $2 million for the spectacle - yes, there were really VIP tickets going for that much and all the tickets have sold out.

There are 65,000 people in attendance while millions more are tuning in around the globe through streaming giant Netflix.

Now they're finally in the ring, people think they’ve discovered the hilarious hidden meaning behind Jake Paul’s walk-out song - 'In the Air Tonight' by Phil Collins.

Taking to Twitter one person shared: "Jake Paul thinks he’s slick playing the song that Mike Tyson sang in The Hangover movie."

A second commented: "Not @jakepaul using the song from the Hangover that @MikeTyson was in #PaulTyson."

While a third penned: "Jake Paul is using 'In the Air' by Phil Collins as the entrance song is the ultimate troll. Lol nod to Mike Tyson's character in The Hangover II. WELL PLAYED. Team TYSON let's go!!"

While another added: "Phil Collins “In The Air Tonight” was Mike Tyson’s favorite song in The Hangover. I see you Jake Paul. #InTheAirTonight."

While it hasn't been revealed just how much money is on the line it's understood that the winner will be getting tens of millions of dollars. Speaking at a press conference in August, Paul said: "I'm here to make $40 million and knock out a legend."

Tyson is rumoured to have a purse of $20 million.

It's not yet known how much if anything the loser will get, but both boxers are adamant they don't need the money.

According to Celebrity New Worth, Tyson is estimated to be worth $10 million while Paul stands at $80 million dollars - it's a huge payday for either fighter even if they don't wish to admit it.
