In a press release today, event hosts An Experience With officially announced that the sold-out arena interview will be available online, but there will be a price tag.

For £3.99, fans across the world can access the "chat show style" conversation, in which McGregor is expected to discuss his past, his future and his feud with Floyd Mayweather.

Commenting on the An Experience With PPV offering, Stephen Oleksewycz, Managing Director at An Experience With said: “We knew this exclusive sporting showcase would appeal to the rest of the world, and wanted to offer those all over the globe the chance to see the event live.

“Conor McGregor is arguably the biggest sporting star in the world right now, and has the appeal that demands this level of international exposure - he breaks a PPV record every time he fights. That said, people are always left wanted more and that’s where we come in.

"A 60 minute, intimate interview with top MMA journalist Ariel Helwani, discussing everything from Conor’s journey to the top, and of course what's next.”

It comes as UFC president Dana White is prepared to pay $25million each to Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor to stage their proposed mega-fight.

Both Mayweather and McGregor have touted the possibility of a blockbuster clash of boxing and MMA's most recognisable faces.

However, while Mayweather is retired from in-ring activities, McGregor is still under an exclusive contract with the UFC.

But White has not ruled out the possibility of the fight - which would be under boxing rules and regulations - happening in the near future.

He says that an agreement could be reached if the parties sat down and discussed pay-per-view splits.

"I'll tell you what Floyd, here's a real offer," White told Fox Sports One.

"I'm the only guy that can actually make the offer and I'm actually making a real offer.

"We'll pay you $25million, we'll pay Conor $25million and then we'll talk about pay-per-view at a certain number. There's a real offer."

While the payday would be the most lucrative in McGregor's fighting career, Mayweather might take a little more convincing.

He pocketed $100million for his showdown with Manny Pacquiao in May 2015, in a fight that was billed as the richest of all-time. He also took home a further $32million for his final professional fight, a victory over Andre Berto later that year, and believes that he is a bigger draw than McGregor.

But White added: “To think that you’re the ‘A’ side? How are you the ‘A’ side? The last major fight that you were in, you left such a bad taste in everybody’s mouth, nobody wants to see you again,

“His last fight did 350,000 pay-per-view buys. Conor’s last (two fights), Conor did 1.3m and 1.5m buys, so I don’t understand you think you’re the ‘A’ side. There’s a reason you want this Conor fight so bad, because you know that’s your money fight.

“If they’re going to box, Floyd looks at this thing like an easy boxing match for him, but Conor McGregor is his money fight.”

UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor had quite the year in 2016 - and 2017 is already looking brighter.

The Dubliner, 28, is the only Irish person who has been included in Forbes’ famous 30 under 30 list for Europe this year.

The Notorious was named to the Social Stars list, honouring those who are “recognisable faces across media”.

The 28-year-old is in good company on the list, with Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner, Barcelona striker Luis Suarez, musician James Bay and Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale also being named.

His summary reads: “Known for his aggressive fighting style, this versatile mixed martial arts fighter has both lightweight and featherweight championships under his belt.

“And The Notorious, as he’s known, is making money with every punch: A single fight in August earned him a $3m purse.”

The dad-to-be also scored a spot on the publication’s 30 Under 30 Entertainment list for Europe this year after placing no 85 on Forbes’ ‘World’s Highest Paid Athletes’ list last year.

Randall Lane, Editor of Forbes, said “The Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list is the ultimate honor roll of the young entrepreneurs reshaping Europe for the better.

“For our second annual list, we scoured the continent for the people revamping every industry and recruited an all-star judging panel to help us determine the best of the best. The result is 300 superstars, across 10 fields, who will impact Europe for the next 50 years.”

Actress Saoirse Ronan and co-founder of the Web Summit Daire Hickey were among those named to the list last year.

McGregor’s latest title comes just months before welcoming his first child with longtime love Dee Devlin.

The exact arrival date of Baby Notorious is yet to be confirmed - it’s rumoured to be early May - but one thing for sure is McGregor’s life is going to be turned upside down.

The lightweight champion is believed to be taking some time away from the UFC after their new arrival - but is expected back in the second half of 2017.

UFC boss Dana White previously said he was taking “10 months” off but McGregor refused to give an exact date.
