All the glitz and glamor in the world won’t help Jake Paul conquer the towering challenge that is Mike Tyson. However, that’s not stopping ‘The Problem Child’ from trying his best. A couple of days ago, the 27-year-old appeared in the Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch podcast, where he dropped hints about his ring walk and revealed he would come out wearing a $1 million outfit.

It’s worth noting that Paul walked out to ‘Feathered Serpent (Savej Remix)’ by Poranguí & Liquid Bloom while dressed as a gladiator in his fight against Mike Perry earlier this year. So, the understanding was that Paul would one-up that, and considering it’s the biggest fight of his career, he would make his outfit extravagant.

What does Paul’s outfit look like?

To Paul’s credit, he did try as he revealed the $1 million outfit on social media today ahead of his big night at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Covered in all silver, Paul’s outfit featured several strings of shimmering diamonds stitched across the outfit. Meanwhile, he also had a black jacket, with Paul’s fragrance brand W’s logo printed across. 

Paul and Tyson will lock horns for an eight-two-minute round fight, wearing 14-ounce gloves in a professional bout sanctioned by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations. Regardless, Paul’s outfit seemed to have failed to impress the boxing people when the clip of Paul’s outfit made it on social media.

Fan speculates Jake Paul spent $1 million to get KOed by Mike Tyson

One user felt the outfit wasn’t worth that kind of money. The user wrote, “For a million he got ripped off…” Well, there are diamonds on it, and considering it cost a million—they must be real.

Another user suggested why Paul might have spent that kind of dough. The user predicted, “Jake Paul got all this just to get knocked out by Mike Tyson.” It’s yet to be seen whether that would be the case.

Someone else had an interesting question. The user asked, “Do we think this $1 million outfit gonna help him to win?” Well, at the very least, it will make him look good.

The next user didn’t like the outfit at all. The user wrote, “$1M on one outfit … That’s ridiculous.” Maybe, Paul can auction off the outfit following the fight. 

Meanwhile, this user didn’t like the shoes. The user wrote, “I’m sorry but those shoes look terrible.” Hopefully, it doesn’t affect his footwork in the ring. 

That being said, it appears Jake Paul’s $1 million outfit didn’t quite have the effect on fans online he may have hoped for. However, maybe it will look better when he wears it—what do you think about the outfit? Is it worth $1 million?
