Let’s be honest, there are plenty of people who actually paid to see the Conor McGregor versus Floyd Mayweather fight over the weekend — some people even bought tickets to see it in person. One of those people? British bartender Oliver Regis, who actually spent $2,600 on a ticket only to realize the seat was in the nosebleed section at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. So what’s a guy to do? Well, Regis pretended to be Mayweather’s bodyguard.
According to The Sun, Regis just followed Mayweather’s security detail as if he was part of them. And guess what? Arena personal didn’t even scan his ticket, so Regis just took a seat in the third row near a bunch of celebrities. Some celebs included Demi Lovato, Chris Hemsworth, Jamie Foxx, Mike Tyson and more.
Take a look at the photos that Regis was able to take with all these celebrities.

“I did feel a bit cheeky – but this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance,” Regis said. “I could not believe it worked.”
And this sounds like this was quite the treat for Regis since he’s a massive McGregor fan — he even has a tattoo of the UFC star on his leg. In other news, the staff at the T-Mobile arena aren’t the best at their job. Then again, their cluelessness led Regis to have the time of his life.
