The Mayweather McGregor media room in London might not have been as secure as some had thought. Well, one fan proved so.
The Mayweather McGregor media room had a surprise guest today in the UK when one fan posing as a journalist managed to sneak in to the pre-event press room to get his question across.
Well, not a question exactly.
He sang Mayweather’s praises in what appeared to be a very awkward moment where Mayweather could be seen with a blank stare and passing his microphone to his manager Leonard Ellerbe.
Here’s what happened:

You have to hand it to that fan though. What a way to get into one of the biggest sporting events in the world essentially undercover posing as a journalist.
He knew the jig was up judging by the surprised reactions around him and took it upon himself to exit the building before security came along.
The London press conference is now underway at the moment and is being live streamed all around the world as the international press tour comes to an end tonight.
Some have mentioned that something crazy might be planned by McGregor after a laboured press conference in New York yesterday.
Expect the unexpected.
