McGregor is widely regarded as the poster boy for UFC having become the first fighter in the sports history to become champion in two different weight divisions at the same time in 2016.
Floyd 'Money' Mayweather meanwhile boasts a 100% unbeaten boxing record of 49 wins from as many fights, having retired after defeating Andre Berto in his last bout in September 2015.
It is believed a match-up between the pair would attract millions in pay-per-view revenue as McGregor has admitted he would be prepared to step out of the UFC Octagon and into the boxing ring for a shot at Mayweather.
Reports suggest that the fight is set to be announced for June 10th in Las Vegas but that date is unlikely, given that McGregor has taken time out from his training as his partner is due to give birth in May.
Mayweather seemed pretty keen on a June date but confirmed that nothing had yet been agreed, "At the moment no papers have been signed but I hope that the fight will take place in June.
“I would like to give the people a show with the world of MMA against the world of boxing.”
