The Irish have invaded Las Vegas to support their fellow countryman Conor McGregor in his fight against Floyd Mayweather. There is said to be an estimated 15,000 British and Irish fight fans in Vegas to support McGregor. Including Piers Morgan.

A spontaneous and spirited “Stand Up, Sit Down, Shoes Off for the Boys in Green” chant erupts at the T-Mobile Arena.
St. Patrick’s Day in Boston has nothing on the Irish festivities going down in Vegas.

A good-hearted McGregor song is sung by Irishmen, which ends in an “Olé, Olé, Olé” chant.
