A fan posed as security to fake his way into ringside seats at Mayweather vs. McGregor

During the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight, a 32-year-old bartender pretended to be part of Mayweather’s security team and snuck down to sit where the famous people were sitting ringside, according to The Sun. Oliver Regis was able to snag pictures of/with Jamie Foxx, Demi Lovato, Dana White, Jennifer Lopez, LeBron James, Chris Hemsworth, Gerard Butler and more.

As hyped as the Mayweather-McGregor was — and how well it sold at home — the event didn’t sell out, allowing the man to easily find a seat. He ran into some luck along the way too, as nobody checked his ticket. That would’ve spelled doom.

This wasn’t an inexpensive trip for Regis, though. He avoided paying an unreal amount of money for ringside seats, but his actual seat still cost him $2,500.

Still, Regis got to see the event of the year up close, and he was surrounded by big-time celebrities. The outcome wasn’t what he wanted, though, if his giant Conor McGregor tattoo says anything.
