    Dude exerts more energy ****ing the sluts in his suite than saying his catchphrase

    From an article that I had read back in 2006, I was under the impression that he made around $50,000 per event, give or take a couple of thousands, depending on the magnitude of the event.

    I cant remember where Ive read it, either here or on a gameforum for fightnight but I thought it was per event, how illogical that may sound.
    It would be better if someone else knew for sure.

    Michael Buffer a g:shock::shock:

    How much does Michael Buffer make to say “Let’s get ready to rumble”? Michael Buffer earns a salary of $5 million every time he utters those 5 famous words. Michael Buffer was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on November 2, 1944 and may be the greatest Ring Announcer for boxing and wrestling matches of all time with an estimated net worth of $200 million. He began his career as a ring announcer in 1982 after trying his hand at several other careers including acting and modeling. Buffer became world-famous when he developed his signature call of “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble” which kicks off all major boxing events. It has brought him fame and incredible fortune. Once established, Buffer became the ring announcer for most ESPN boxing and wrestling events … for the WCW …and for events held anywhere in the world at casinos owned and operated by Donald Trump.

    Buffer’s smartest move ever was when he trademarked his phrase “Let’s get ready to rumble”. He was paid an estimated $100 million to license to the phrase in perpetuity by the video game “Ready To Rumble”. Not bad for a wanna be actor turned boxing announcer
