Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor lures A-list celebrities from all over


LAS VEGAS — Bruce Willis reportedly was at a craps table Friday night at the MGM Grand hotel, but the casino isn’t what drew him here this weekend.

Willis was among the A-list celebrities to arrive Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena for the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight. He walked the pink carpet — color courtesy of sponsor T-Mobile — with movie producer Jerry Bruckheimer, just ahead of actor Don Cheadle.

That amounted to the undercard for more than two dozen media outlets stationed alongside the carpet.

“J-Lo and A-Rod five minutes out,’’ a PR rep reported, referring to Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez not long after New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft showed up. “Which probably means 20 minutes.’’

Showtime, which was broadcasting the fight, assembled a stable of celebs that rivaled the entourage that showed up in Las Vegas in 2015 to watch Mayweather fight Manny Pacquiao, said Chris DiBlasio, senior vice president for sports communications at Showtime.

LeBron James was among the athletes expected to attend Saturday, with the list of NBA stars also including James Harden, Draymond Green and Paul George.

Actors expected to attend were Matt Damon, Jamie Foxx, Mark Wahlberg, Jeremy Piven and Ben Stiller.

Drake was expected to be among the music celebs that also included Sean “Diddy” Combs and Ozzy Osbourne and family.

Other notables Showtime was expecting: Mike Tyson, Demi Lovato, Cal Ripken Jr. and Boomer Esiason.

The pink carpet awaited — and may have disoriented Tito Ortiz, the retired mixed martial arts fighter who said of the fight, “This is like Ali-Frazier.’’
