"Do you get that with me?"

‘More money than sense' – Fans spot unexpected benefit of ‘$1 MILLION ringside suite' for Taylor vs Serrano 3 at MSG
FANS were less than impressed after spotting an unexpected benefit of '$1 million ringside suites' at Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano 3. 1 American singer-songwriter and actress JoJo performs the national anthem before the undisputed super lightweight championship fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano at Madison Square Garden Credit: Stephen McCarthy/Sportsfile Boxing fans flocked to Madison Square Garden for the all-female card, with some particularly wealthy attendants having the chance to sit at ringside. Not only that, but the "ringside suites" - which set users back an eye-watering $1 million - came with a large TV through which the card could be watched. However, this was questioned by fans on social media, who wondered why it was necessary to have a TV when the action is right in front of them. One said: "Why do you have that when you are right towards the ring? No sense" Read More on Katie Taylor A second posted: "Why the TV?!?!?!" while a third asked: "Why do they need a tv?" A fourth said: "What rubbish, why have the screen there when you're right beside the ring??" A fifth added: "So spend $1 million to sit front row to just watch the fight on TV" A sixth posted: "Hahaha a seat and a tv wtf do you need a tv for ag ringside more money than f***ing sense" Most read in Boxing And a seventh said: "Did they really pay 1 million for that seat wtf lol." There was plenty of hype going into Saturday morning's action, and the undercard lived up to the billing. UK Netflix Users Warned: £1,000 Fine for Watching Live Events Without a TV Licence In the opening bout of the official undercard, Ellie Scotney put on a stylish performance to beat Yamileth Mercado to become unified super bantamweight champion. After the fight, the Englishwoman paid an emotional tribute to Georgia O'Connor, who died from cancer in May. She said: "I have had a real testing few months. As everybody knows, I lost my dear friend Georgia so tonight is for her. "Her dad is over there and I'd like everyone to give her a round of applause. "She was 25 years old, she was a fighter, and she lost her battle to cancer but tonight I made sure her name was remembered in Madison Square Garden." In the follow-up bout, Shadasia Green spoiled Savannah Marshall's return in a tumultous split decision victory. The gutsy veteran overcame a slow start to win via split decision to become unified IBF & WBO Super Middleweight champion. The judges scorecards were indicative of a topsy-turvy bout, with Green edging out Marshall 95-94, 93-96, 96-93.

Colin Sheridan: Is a €8m handbag a sign that moral rot within society is beyond redemption?
Last week, while most of us were trying to figure out whether we could stretch a pack of sausages to Wednesday, a handbag — yes, a handbag — sold for over €8m at auction. Not just any handbag, mind you. This was Jane Birkin's handbag, a Hermès Birkin, apparently so fabulous it makes the Ark of the Covenant look like something you'd pick up in Mr Price. Can you live in the handbag? Will the handbag score 12 goals from midfield for your favourite football team? Does the handbag masquerade as a consultant obstetrician? I had to check the headline thrice to be sure it wasn't satire. But no, some anonymous collector with more money than shame decided that owning a dead woman's carry-all was worth liquidating the GDP of Latvia. One wonders if the buyer realises that, in the end, it's still a leather sack for lugging around tampons, loose Polo mints, and the odd receipt from Boots. We are in a golden age for absurdity. The global elite, presumably bored of space travel and tax avoidance, have turned to auctions to alleviate their crushing ennui. They'll throw millions at anything with a whiff of celebrity: Hair clippings, stained lyric sheets, Willie Joe Padden's bloodstained head-sock. The only criterion is that it must be fundamentally useless. Consider, if you will, the painting by the American artist Robert Ryman, which sold for $20m. A lovely canvas of — wait for it — white paint. Just white. You'd be forgiven for thinking someone had accidentally left the undercoat unfinished and called it a day. The shredded Banksy painting 'Love is in the Bin' exhibited at the Museum Frieder Burda in Baden-Baden in 2019. Picture: Uli Deck, DPA via AP The Sotheby's catalogue, in all seriousness, described it as 'an exploration of absence and presence'. Fools! I would've given them twice as much absence and presence for half the price. Then there's the shredded Banksy. You remember that one: Girl with Balloon, which was run through a hidden shredder the moment the hammer fell. The partial destruction somehow made it more valuable. It's now called Love is in the Bin and sold for €21m. Because nothing says 'serious art' like a prank worthy of a drunk teenager. You can't even hang the thing without a health-and-safety risk assessment in case it completes the shredding mid-dinner party. Not just about visual art Lest you think this is purely a visual art problem, let's not forget the world of music memorabilia. Kurt Cobain's battered cardigan from MTV Unplugged went for €300,000. Not because it was woven from unicorn wool — though at that price, it ought to be — but because it still had a few cigarette burns in the sleeves. Some poor intern probably spent the entire auction standing guard over it in a humidity-controlled glass box, as if it were the Shroud of Turin. Of course, nothing tops the slice of stale wedding cake from Charles and Diana's nuptials, which fetched €1,800. Imagine explaining that to your dinner guests. If ever proof was needed that the British monarchy has warped the collective brain, there it is. I realise that by now, I sound like the man shouting at a shredded cloud. But can we acknowledge that an €8m handbag is a sign that the moral rot within society is perhaps beyond redemption? Jane Birkin herself was reportedly ambivalent about the bag's absurd symbolism, once complaining that it was too heavy to be practical. Indeed, if you were the owner of such a thing, you'd be terrified to take it to Dunnes Stores for fear someone would brush against it with a trolley and take €200,000 off its resale value. What do the owners do with this stuff? Keep it in a bank vault? Gloat over it at dinner parties? Invite friends round to sniff the lining? 'Go on, that's the authentic aroma of 1960s Gauloises and existential dread.' And yet the madness persists. We live in a time when working people must remortgage their house if they want a new boiler, but if you're rich enough, you can drop seven figures on the decaying remnants of someone else's broken dreams. The whole ecosystem thrives on scarcity and snobbery. There's no limit to the price as long as it remains tantalisingly out of reach for the rest of us. One could argue there's poetry in it — a reminder of the surreal hierarchy of value humans assign to the meaningless. But I'd wager it's mostly ego and the desperate need to be seen as a connoisseur. In reality, the only thing you're a connoisseur of is spectacular bad taste and the art of burning cash. So, to whoever bought Jane Birkin's handbag: Congratulations. May you treasure your absurd purchase as a monument to the world's most expensive nonsense. And when the day comes that the bottom falls out of the collector's market — and it always does — you can use it to carry your tears.

Ian Dempsey recalls his day working on Live Aid
Former 2fm DJ and current Today FM breakfast show host Ian Dempsey worked behind the scenes on RTÉ's award-winning TV coverage of Live Aid. He shares some memories of the day What was your role on the day? "Along with my colleagues, I was 'manning' the phones (a term which probably doesn't exist 40 years later) with fellow presenter Barry Lang and Broadcasting Assistant Linda Bent. "Our job was to chat, flirt and secure plenty of cash from a very willing public. What a great day it was. We were also simulcasting on Radio 2 (now 2FM) so there was no escape for anybody!" Were you there for the whole thing? "No. As I remember it, we each had to do a shift of about three hours over in the TV Block. I was there from about midday until 3pm so early enough and I drove straight home afterwards and went into a darkened room with the television on and watched every microsecond until about 3am the next day." Live Aid was a HUGE live event with a lot of moving parts and a lot going on so lots of chances for cock-ups - were there many during RTÉ's coverage? "To be fair to the Donnybrook end of things, it was plain sailing as far as I could see. I suppose they had very little control over the actual music, the feeds, the satellites etc so it was just a case of filling in the spaces whenever necessary. Of course, there was an amazing 'can do' attitude with everybody involved and that usually helps things run both smoothly and brilliantly." What were your highlights - musical and otherwise? "I think that pocket of Live Aid in the late afternoon in London which featured separate performances by U2 (landscape changing for Bono), Queen (21 minutes of excellence - no debate) and David Bowie (well, what did we expect?) - but it has to be said that Status Quo at midday kicking it all off with the most appropriate song ever was a bit special - Rocking All Over The World." What were your lowlights - musical and otherwise? "I thought the American end was less good but maybe I was just tired. It didn't seem to have the same oomph! Although, I did enjoy The Thompson Twins with Madonna." Did you get the feeling early on in the day that Ireland would end up contributing the most per capita than any other county? "Well, Ireland has a brilliant record at helping others. I knew it would be an impressive total from the response that we got on the phones. It was non-stop!" Was it an emotional experience for you? "Yes, I think it was something the whole world could come together for and it proved the power of people when we all felt passionately about the issues in Ethiopia. And the fact that Bob Geldof, a lad from South County Dublin, was putting the fear of God into rock stars, TV viewers and donors made it all extra emotional." What do you think Live Aid's legacy is? "It was a unique event that will never happen again. Everybody was caught on the hop and the outcome was unbelievable."
