Jake Paul and Mike Tyson had their final press conference Wednesday before Friday's highly anticipated fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which will be streamed live on Netflix.

A hilarious moment took place when host Ariel Helwani polled other boxers on stage about who would win the main event, with the vast majority picking Tyson.

After Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) confronted all the fighters who picked Tyson, he seemed to shake hands on three different $1-million wagers as well as other bets involving $20, a ring, and one for the entire purse with Katie Taylor.

"I'm sending out contracts, too," Paul shouted before sitting back down.

Paul and Tyson didn't exchange any words during an intense faceoff.

Paul, 27, wore a blinged-out ear cover, as Tyson is famous for biting off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear during a 1997 fight.

The 58-year-old Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs) is determined to win the sanctioned fight.

Lastly, Paul ripped a reporter for questioning the legitimacy of the bout.
