Ah! It has been delayed until 6.30 now, because so many people are still pouring in...
From YouTubers to sports stars, there are so many names here - and that's just in the press area.
Fans are screaming, trying to get a moment of their time.
Speaking ahead of the fight, Logan Paul has said this will be his last boxing match.
"I will have progressed too much to ever fight another celebrity or YouTuber after this," he said.
"I am sparring professional fighters and I am beating them badly, that does so much for my confidence.
"I relied on my athleticism to carry me through the first fight and it almost worked; but now I am a boxer, I am literally a professional fighter and I feel like it.
"I would honestly love to fight in the UFC; I want [president] Dana White to put me in the Octagon.
"This fight is different because it is not nerve-wracking. Last year I came here with some anxiety about my boxing ability.
"I believed in my fitness and athleticism and how hard I worked but I did not feel like a boxer, I felt like a YouTuber who was pretending.
"Now my boxing will speak for itself, the confidence has risen.
"I am confused by the people who think he wins. I understand his fans wanting him to win but what the f*** are they thinking? I will end this man.
"Last year I f***** around and showboated but this time it will just be a knockout."
Shannon Briggs shows his face for a brief moment and gets booed. Heavily.
The pair come face to face above all the fans and the boos for Logan are crazy!
Eddie Hearn:
"No headguards, I have to be honest with you, someone is getting knocked out on 9 November."
