The date to put in the diary in Saturday, August 26

Where?

McGregor and Mayweather will slug it out at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The venue has a capacity of 20,000 for ring based events.

It has previously seen Canelo Alvarez vs. Amir Khan, Canelo Alvarez vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Gennady Golovkin vs. Canelo Alvarez, UFCs 200, 202, 207, 209 and 213 take place.

How much will the fighters earn?

The mega-fight could generate upwards of $630million+.

UFC head honcho Dana White expects McGregor to earn around $100m – although the breakdown of that figure has not been broken down.

Mayweather is thought to have negotiated a bigger slice of the profits.

The fight is expected to break all television box office records.

How much are tickets and when do they go on sale?

Ticket details have not yet been released but expect official prices to be between $1,500 and $7,500, which was the fee fight fans paid at face value for the Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao fight in 2015.
