Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor: What date is the fight, what TV channel is it on and how much will PPV cost

Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor is, depending on your point of view, either the boxing match of the millennium or a cross-code money-spinning abomination, but what we can tell you with certainty is that the fight is rapidly approaching. Later this month, the once-retired all-time great boxer Mayweather will take on UFC's biggest star McGregor in Las Vegas.

After all the speculation about whether we would have the fight, the last few weeks have seen much name-calling and animosity on both sides, as the rivalry intensifies ahead of the big day.

Anyway, here's everything you need to know about the fight between a boxer with a 49-0 record facing a man who has never taken part in a professional boxing fight.
What date is the fight and at what time?

The fight is happening on Saturday 26 August. While the times haven't been announced, it will certainly be a late night or very early start for viewers in the UK, so expect to be up well into Sunday 27 August, and possibly calling in sick on Monday 28.
