JAKE PAUL and Tommy Fury are set to bank mega-money paydays for their dust-up in the Diriyah desert.
The pair have once more rescheduled their grudge match after Fury was twice forced to pull out amid injury and visa issues.
But their third crack at settling the score could be the most lucrative of all having taken their feud to Saudi Arabia on February 26.
The fight is set to be televised on pay-per-view worldwide, with BT Box Office carrying the UK rights and ESPN in America.
According to SportsZion, Paul is guaranteed to make at least $3.2million (£2.6m) and then 65 per cent of PPV sales.
It is claimed it could take his earnings for the fight to over $8.6m (£7m) including sponsorship deals.

For Fury, 23, the report states he will take home at least $2m (£1.6m) while taking home the remaining 35 per cent of box office sales.
That would see him take home up to $4.5m (£3.6m) when it is all said and done.
Fury raised concerns after he no-showed for the kick-off press conference in Saudi Arabia.
Paul, 26, made the short journey from Dubai – where he has been training – to show up and promote the PPV.

And he used Fury's absence to blast his celebrity boxing rival following their history of failed fights.
He said: "He's gonna have to pay for all the times he pulled out, all the business people he screwed over. It's disrespectful.
"There are some of the biggest names in boxing, some of the biggest promoters in the world, some of the most influential people in the world, one of the greatest countries in the world, and he doesn't want to show up 'cause a "private matter" – cool. We all have private matters."
