To most events, a $2,500 ticket gets a person pretty incredibly seats, but the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight was an entirely different ball game. When British bartender Oliver Regis found out his expensive tickets had him up in the nosebleeds, he knew he had to do something to see the fight up close and personal.
The McGregor superfan, which has a tattoo of the UFC superstar on his leg to prove his fandom, apparently posed as a member of Mayweather’s security team to get past T-Mobile Arena security, who failed to check his ticket.
See the excerpt from The Sun article by James Beal detailing how Regis made it down to ringside:
If a person were to question Regis on his story, well, the man has a plethora of pictures with celebrities at ringside to prove he was there. And when we say “a plethora of pictures,” we mean he essentially took pictures with every celebrity in attendance.
Well played, Oliver the bartender… well played.
Here’s Regis’ tattoo of McGregor, who were sure he was pleased to see put up an incredible fight up close and personal against Mayweather.
