I totally shouldn’t ask this but fuck it. Does anyone have a working no registration stream for the fight? — Gareth Emery (@garethemery) May 3, 2015

Multiple other EDM artists such as Calvin Harris, Afrojack, and Dash Berlin attended the fight. However, the overall sentiment was that the Vegas club afterparties were much more exciting than the match itself.
