Ice Cube has announced he is willing to move his basketball tournament out of Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena to make way for the superfight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather if the price is right. 

It was revealed over the weekend that the boxing bout's scheduled date of 26 August at the arena was already occupied by Cube's BIG3 event and though it was originally thought they had no intention to move venues, the rapper confirmed in a new interview that discussions are underway. 

Speaking on US sports talk show, Skip & Shannon: Undisputed (via TMZ), Cube said "of course" he would move the BIG3 tournament out of T-Mobile Arena if compensated.

"If they do what they're supposed to do and make us happy, yeah, we'll move." he said.

"We're talking about it. I think we gonna get there."

It has been reported that the BIG3 tournament could move over to the MGM Grand Garden Arena while the McGregor/Mayweather showdown will take place at the T-Mobile Arena as planned.
