TMT billboard defaced with ’49-1′ message, Irish flag in Las Vegas overnight

Las Vegas has a distinctly Irish feel to it this weekend, as thousands of Conor McGregor’s compatriots have traveled the almost 5,000 miles from their homeland to cheer on their man as he faces Floyd Mayweather inside the T-Mobile Arena on Saturday night — and some in particular have taken it open themselves to remodel one of Las Vegas’ most prominent billboards.

A ‘The Money Team’ advertisement inside Sin City was edited to include a ’49-1′ message as well as an Irish flag overnight, which you can see below courtesy of powersimagery on Instagram.

It didn’t last long however, as the billboard was restored to its previous message early on Saturday morning. Still though, message delivered loud and clear.
