Celebs at MayMac: 5 Oscars, 13 Grammys, 8 championship rings ... and that's just so far

Big fights, especially in Las Vegas, are no stranger to celebrities.

Saturday’s megafight between Floyd Mayweather (49-0 boxing) and Conor McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) is expecting to challenge for the crown of most lucrative combat sports event of all time. And it also is likely to make a case for most celebrity-populated fight ever, too.

TMZ.com got a hold of a list of just a few of the celebrities expected to be on hand at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and even if no one else is added to the list (fat chance), it already will be a star-studded affair in “Sin City.”

Expected to be ringside Saturday night will be the winners of five Academy Awards, 13 Grammy Awards and eight championship rings in the NFL and NBA. And that’s not even counting the Emmys, Tonys, SAG Awards and ridiculous amounts of nominations.

Denzel Washington, who can make a case as one of the greatest actors in history, will be there. He’s got some ring experience from playing Rubin Carter in the 1999 film “The Hurricane,” for which he got one of his seven Oscar nominations.

Jamie Foxx, also an Oscar winner, and Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg are notable because of their appearances in two of the best boxing films of the past 20 years, as well. Foxx played Drew Brown, one of Muhammad Ali’s trainers and cornermen, in the 2001 film “Ali.” And Wahlberg played “Irish” Micky Ward in the Oscar-winning 2010 film “The Fighter.” Fellow Oscar winners Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron will be there, as well, and neither is a stranger to throwing punches on screen.

Musically, Grammy winners will be all over the place with LL Cool J, Drake, P Diddy and Adam Levine. And New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft (five Super Bowl rings) and NBA all-time great LeBron James (three titles) will be on hand, too.

Naturally, the list is expected to grow – especially considering the likelihood that many celebrities will want to fly under the radar until they show up just before the fight starts.

But for now, here’s the list TMZ was able to put together:

• Avicii: Swedish DJ and record producer with two Grammy nominations
• Michael Bay: Director, producer whose films include “Amageddon,” “Pearl Harbor” and the “Transformers” series
• Jeff Beacher: Founder of Las Vegas-bases show “Beacher’s Madhouse,” producer
• Drake: Three-time Grammy-winning rapper with 35 total nominations
• Jamie Foxx: Actor and singer with an Oscar (two nominations), Golden Globe Award and two Grammys (10 nominations)
• Angelina Jolie: Actress, philanthropist with an Oscar (two nominations), three Golden Globe Awards (seven nominations) and two Screen Actors Guild awards (four nominations), plus two Emmy nominations
• Elon Musk: South African businessman, inventor who founded SpaceX and co-founded Tesla
• LL Cool J: Rapper, actor with two Grammy awards (nine nominations), Emmy nomination
• P Diddy: Rapper, actor with three Grammy awards (12 nominations)
• LeBron James: Basketball player for Cleveland Cavaliers with three NBA titles, four MVP awards, 13 All-Star Game appearances, two Olympic gold medals.
• Bob Kraft: Businessman, owner of New England Patriots, who have won five Super Bowl titles under his ownership and have made the playoffs 13 of the past 14 seasons
• Adam Levine: Singer (Maroon 5), actor with three Grammy awards (12 nominations)
