He sometimes finishes as late as 4am after keeping punters in their place and admitted: “Oh, they get rowdy. For sure.
“We have some guys that we have to like shove out of the booth, but I don’t mind it, I’m a fighter, I’m kind of used to confrontation.

“It’s a great job to have on the side if you want to make some extra money.”
Despite his iconic surname, Biaggio enjoys getting no special treatment the famed Xtreme Couture gym that he trains at.
And he finds it just as amusing that partygoers have no idea of his legendary bloodline whenever he works the doors.
Biaggio said: “When we were very young, we kept it very secretive who me and my brother were related to.
“My mom always told us that we were going to have to work a little bit harder if we were to be successful in sports, just because of the name.
“People are going to say, ‘You only got this opportunity because of this or that.’ They’re always going to relate it back to my grandfather, no matter what I do.
“So it just makes us work harder, my grandfather gave me some great advice as a kid, he always told me to be humble, always stay humble.
“That’s a piece of advice that I’m going to take with me for the rest of my life, because being humble is a good thing, it keeps you grounded.
“I’m a very religious and spiritual person, I have a great relationship with God, so that keeps me grounded as well. I think it’s a good way to live.”
Having not turned professional, Biaggio is unable to compete in the PFL’s $1m winner-take-all season, which consists of qualification and knockout stages.
But he has had two amateur bouts with the PFL and returns on Saturday against Travell Miller in the latest of his experience-building bouts.
Biaggio said: “I’m still trying to figure out the right mentality, the right style, I’m still trying to get as much experience as possible.
“So going into this fight, I just want to fight. It’s kind of hard to convey it, I just want to go in there fight and get as much experience as possible.”
