Netflix's rules for Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson have been revealed amid fans asking if they'll have to pay for the controversial fight.
The eagerly-awaited showdown between Paul and Tyson is just days away as a crowd of over 60,000 is expected to fill the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Paul vs. Tyson will be aired worldwide on Netflix, who secured exclusive rights to the fight after striking a deal with Most Valuable Promotions.
That means it will be streamed on Netflix, so fans won't have to pay an additional pay-per-view fee to watch the fight.
Paul vs. Tyson will be available on a standard Netflix subscription at no extra cost.

A standard plan with adverts will set you back £4.99 a month while an advert-free standard plan costs £10.99 a month.
And a premium plan, which allows you to watch on four devices and add two members of a separate household, goes for £17.99 a month.
In theory, this means you could just sign up for a month if you don't have the streaming service and pay less than a fiver to watch Paul vs. Tyson.
It's important to note, however, that you need a TV license to watch the heavyweight showdown as the BBC told LADbible Group earlier this year that you require a license to watch any live event on Netflix.

Paul vs, Tyson marks a milestone for Netflix's efforts to expand its live programming, with vice president, Sports at Netflix, Gabe Spitzer calling the bout a 'historic event'.
"Mike Tyson is one of the biggest icons in boxing history and Jake Paul is one of the biggest disruptors in boxing history,” he said.
"We are thrilled to partner with Most Valuable Promotions for this historic event and we can't wait for these two to face off for fans all across the world on Netflix."
