I'm not a Lennon fan; his voice is too bland for my liking and he doesn't add much to the atmosphere for me.

Despite the blunders I don't think anyone helps create a big fight feeling like Buffer does.

I thought he would be getting more than £20k tbh.

It may have been more for Saturday given that he announced 4 fights when he usually does one, and does the sum total of about 10 minutes talking...

Money for, literally, nothing.

I'd say Jimmy Lennon Jnr is the numero uno these days. The consummate professional.
Has quite a whining annoying voice does Lennon Jr.

To be frank, if either guy is getting paid that much, they are being chronically overpaid, I mean, there's countless voice actors could do that with a little bit of prep - it's money for old rope, and I'd expect people to get it right for that kind of money. Buffer has carved a pretty incredible niche for himself as 'Mr world title fight' so if he screws up, then he quite rightly should be criticised.

Yeah he's done well; he actually has a patent on the "Let's get Ready to Rumble" phrase too.
