Conor McGregor Fan Pretends to Be Mayweather Security Member to Snag Ringside Seats.
Ringside tickets to the Mayweather v McGregor fight went for up to $138,000, but a British bartender managed to upgrade his seat for free.
Oliver Regis bought a ticket to the weekend's super fight between UFC star Conor McGregor and unbeaten boxer Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas.
But when he got there, he wasn't happy with his seat and decided to take matters into his own hands.
Posing as a member of Mayweather's team, Regis managed to get through security and land himself a seat in the third row where he rubbed shoulders with celebrities such as Jaime Foxx, Demi Lovato and Mike Tyson.
It was a ballsy move, but it paid off, Regis said.
"I did feel a bit cheeky but this was a once in a lifetime chance," he said. "I could not believe it worked."
The fight earned Mayweather more money than any fighter before him - including an estimated US$200 million (NZ$276m) for his last bout.
Mayweather battered McGregor, finally stopping him at 1.05 of the 10th with a flurry of punches that forced referee Robert Byrd to stop the fight.
