Buffer to announce Froch - Kessler = Gutted

This dissapoints. Buffer is old hat. Last week`s news.

I was secretly (Richard Williams style) hoping that we would have Gary Logan announcing this fight, or at the very least, The Prizefighter Whispering Growler.

Sort it out Eddie. Give the fans what they want.

How much does Buffer get paid?

Has to be one of the best jobs in the game! Get to sit ringside, put up in a top hotel, paid a lot of money (I assume) and be part of nearly every super fight there is. All this without getting sued, punched in the face or watching what you eat. It has to be one of the best jobs in boxing!?

Yeah i like Buffer. As cheesy as his theatrics are, they do get you pumped up the fight I think! Also going on interviews ive seen with him, he seems a genuinely nice guy to be fair so you cant hate on his success.

With Floyd on Showtime its good to see Jimmy Lennon Jnr announcing a few more big ones.

He did his chilling "really needing no introduction the world over" for Floyd last time..... I aint heard that one for a while.

I wonder if Buffer will do "its time to meet your hero"!!!

Buffer get paid a fortune, he's absolutely minted, trademarked his catchphrase many years ago, and apparently is worth 100 million!

Buffer is the man.

Always was, always will be.

I used to like the Australian guy that used to use really long words. Can anyone help me out with his name?

I remember just as I clicked.

I also liked the American dude that used to say all the surnames twice. "Mike Tyson..... Tyson"

orbtastic · Post by **orbtastic** » 13 May 2013, 14:45

haha, yeah him too.

Jones was a black dude from the DC area, not sure he's the Australian guy but he may have done some fights out there maybe as he was with CKP for a while.

But is he worth £20k?

I remember the epic fail - Dazzling Darren Baker when Barker fought Martinez for the world title.

It does hype up the fight though

For basically flying to big fights all over the world, and doing two minutes work when it comes to introducing the boxers.

I wonder how much PJ and Duncan had to pay old Buffer to use him in their crappy song?
