‘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.

Taylor, 39, put her undisputed super lightweight titles on the line against Serrano, 36, in a huge trilogy fight, live on Netflix.

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”

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”

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.


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.
