Jess Harbour's Role in the Ring on Floyd Mayweather - Conor McGregor Fight Night
- Sep 6, 2017
K&N Calendar girl Jessica Harbour was one of the chosen few. She didn’t even know she would be serving as a ring card girl until days before the fight — “We found out just the week before that Corona had finally gotten through negotiations and that we got the fight! I have worked with Corona boxing as a ring card girl since 2012 and am very blessed to be one of the main ring card models for the West Coast. I have done many boxing matches and even one Mayweather fight in the past (Mayweather vs. Maidana), but nothing to this scale because there has never been a bigger fight!” Through Corona, Jess landed a coveted spot inside the ring on fight night, but that’s not all. She worked all of the events in which Corona sponsored models were involved. She shares:
Tuesday - Fighter arrival Wednesday - Mayweather-McGregor Press Conference Thursday - Undercard Press Conference Friday - Weigh In Saturday- The Fights!!!” This is honestly unbelievable considering the hype around this fight—that one person would have access to all of these events. Jess did though. When asked how she got this once in a lifetime opportunity, she humbly responds, “All of the ladies who represent Corona for the agency ‘Friasworks’ are so stunning and put in hard work, so I imagine it was really hard to choose. Our boss wanted as many ladies as possible to get to experience the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight, so we switched off and had 6 other girls card the main fight. The only reason, I'm sure, I was included in all of the events is because I'm the only blonde.”
These opportunities and appearances enabled Jess to be up close and personal with two of the greatest fighters in the world. UFC and MMA fans were just as invested as boxing enthusiasts. The feisty Irishman, Conor Mcgregor, and athletic American, Floyd Mayweather, were sure to pull huge pay-per-view numbers: Jess had the added bonus of worldwide exposure as millions streamed the fight. She understands the significance of it all saying, “It was very exciting to be on the stage with such legends at such a legendary event. The fans are so crazy it makes the events that much more exciting - the singing, cheering, and yelling gave me chills the whole time! I have never seen anything like it. I feel incredibly humbled and blessed to have been a part of the whole fight week in Las Vegas.” When asked for a highlight besides being in the ring on fight night, Jess gushes “Holding the money belt was very thrilling. It was so beautifully made, and as the name states, worth a freaking lot of money.” | |||
