Las Vegas natives and massive combat fans, The Killers had to join Wahlberg and Diddy get in on the fun of the McGregor vs. Mayweather bout, too. As they rolled out their new album led by single “The Man,” Showtime produced a bespoke music video starring the band and intercut with highlights from the boxers’ training camps. In temperatures of over 100 in the Las Vegas desert, we built a custom ring for the band to perform in, then hopped over to the Mandalay Bay to shoot pickup scenes featuring local talent. Rolling Stone was kind enough to premiere the video, which also led the broadcast of the fight on Showtime.
