July 20 (UPI) -- A YouTube user claims he made fake credentials and used them to sneak backstage last week at Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor's London news conference.
Zac Alsop posted a 12-minute video Saturday on YouTube. The video, which has nearly 1 million views, is titled: Sneaking backstage at the McGregor vs Mayweather Press conference in London. Alsop has more than 21,000 subscribers and has other videos on his YouTube channel, including one where he "convinced the world" he was a gold medalist.
His Mayweather - McGregor video has more than 25 million views on Unilad. It includes explicit language.
"Yes yes, back with a bang," Alsop wrote in the caption. "This one was a lot of fun."
Alsop, who appears to be in his 20s, used Photoshop, a laminator and other tools to con his way backstage and into the rally at SSE Wembley Arena.
The video begins with Alsop getting a text from his friend about the news conference being in London.
Alsop then searched social media and found a photo on Mayweather's driver's Instagram account. The photo featured promoter and guest passes for the event.
After showing off his Photoshop skills, Alsop printed out the passes on photo paper. He then laminated and cut the fake passes. He also sported an earpiece and some silver wristbands.
He arrived at the venue and spotted a member of Mayweather's crew. Alsop said he pushed up toward security and snuck into the building.
He wander around the building, spotting UFC president Dana White multiple times, before finding his way out to the main floor.
He took a photo ringside, cheered with some McGregor fans. He then finagled his way backstage and stood next to McGregor, walking out with his crew after his raucous introduction.
After the back-and-forth news conference between the two fighters, Alsop pushed his way back toward a one-on-one interview with McGregor. He also went to McGregor's individual news conference.
Alsop also documented the event on his Instagram account.
