For whom works michael buffer?

For himself.

 

hes freelance........anyone can hire him out

if the price is right of course

 

how much does he get?

 

So showtime could actually hire him?

 

i read years ago that he is $50,000 a go for a promotion , think it was the old uk boxing news mag

 

he makes couple of millions a year. He has at least 8-10 shows only here in Germany a year!

 

He was in South Africa this last Saturday for the Francois Botha Michael Grant fight and it was rumored that he recieved 25,000 for that... was worth it though.. good to see!!

 

Isn't he a freelancer? Apparently makes a killing per appearance. He does seem to work exclusively for HBO when he announces boxing matches in America. Showtime have their own announcer, Jimmy Lennon, so he wouldn't have a chance to work with them.

 

Has he ever been on showtime?

 

Yes, he worked on the Arthur Abraham vs Jermain Taylor S6 fight.

 

But that was probabily only because it was a German promotion.

 

Fun act many don't know, to get a quote for Mike to announce for your **** you go through Bruce Buffer.

 

He's freelance, it's up to the promoter to hire him.

This past weekend he was in South Africa for Botha/Grant so Jimmy Lennon MC'd Manfredo/Chavez on HBO.

 

I have read before that his trademarked phrase has earned him $400m over his career. I presume most of this is from it being replicated but it is crazy money.
