Floyd Mayweather might have walked away from Saturday night's fight with Conor McGregor a winner, but there was another champion in the crowd: a man who managed to sneak his way into the best seats in the house -- all for free.

32-year-old Oliver Regis told The Sun exactly how he got away with sneaking into one of the biggest fights and landed in the third row among the stars.

He apparently bought a ticket in the nosebleed section that cost over $2,000, but rather than sit tight in the horrid seats, he took a chance. He slyly pretended to be a part of Mayweather's entourage, and no one asked questions, checked his ticket, or noticed he didn't belong.

“I did feel a bit cheeky – but this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I could not believe it worked," the McGregor superfan told the tabloid.

“There were quite a few empty seats. I sat down in the third row and Mike Tyson then sat down behind me. LeBron James was on my row and I could see Leonardo DiCaprio," Regis said. He eventually managed to make the most of the experience, asking the stars for selfies and landing a photo with celebrities like Mike Tyson, Diddy, Jamie Foxx, Chris Hemsworth and Demi Lovato.

Someone get him a money belt, stat.
