Michael Buffer GO AWAY !!!!

Post by caldo2025 »

How many minutes of fame does Michael Buffer have left? This guy gets more than a million dollars a night to shout his old and played out catch phrase which is more than most of the fighters risking their lives on these boxing cards. The LEAST he could do is read the freaking scores correctly. How hard is that? He continues to make idiotic mistakes this year with the easiest, most well paid job on earth.

In a FOY candidate last night...he did it again...calling out the wrong winner of the Estrada/Cuadras. What a Jackass. Are we done now? Can he go away?

Did he definitely read it wrong? Or was he given the wrong information?

Regardless, I agree Buffer is long past his sell by date.

Yes, I got tired of him a while ago. It's nothing personal, he's just been doing it too long.

I couldn't care less who does the introductions. My prefight complaint is every goddamn network having their announcers flap their gums during the ring walks.

Any word on whether he'll be working the Parker-Fury fight? "For the hundreds in attendance and the dozens watching on YouTube PPV..."

Agreed.

Buff's early life story is interesting. The road he took to success was not an easy one,


"Buffer was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His parents divorced when he was 11 months of age, and Buffer was then raised by foster parents. He enlisted in the United States Army during the Vietnam War at age 20 and served until age 23. He held various jobs including a car salesman, then began a modeling career at age 32 before becoming a ring announcer at age 38".-wiki

He gets 25000 a night plus expenses. One million is a bit ridiculous of a figure. Common sense would say that's just stupid. Go slap yourself for being silly

He also makes ridiculous money off a video game or something like that. He licences "let's get ready to mumble" and makes a ton more from that.
He is 73 or something. Give the old fella a break. Nice hair :OhYes:
Who else is as good? Not that twerp with the giant dread lock? Sweet baby Faye?
Or Hose Contradictus?
Id take Buffy over that lot.

Great voice and still #1 for me, though seems like there's been more mix ups over the last few years (like calling Gary Russell Adrien Broner)..

Yes. But I'm talking the dulcet tones of the original JL. Senior.

The Irishman with whiskey in his voice and the linguistic excellence of an honorary Mexican.

Simply the best.

But Buffer is special too. Made ring announcing more than just a dry intro. Put the fighters in biographical and historical perspective.

Buff's been calling the Big Ones for more than 30 years. He deserves a place in boxing's HOF.
