As classy as Jimmy Lennon is, he cant pump the fans up while introducing the fighters as Buffer does. Now that Showtime has the majority of Boxing Stars on their network, they have to get Buffer to do the damn intros.
Thoughts?
Jimmy lemon is good. I love his intros.
Jimmy is awful.. Don't get me wrong his voice is great and all but he always repeats himself. He says introducing like a million times and always repeats things he says with different words.
"Now introducing from bla bla bla undefeated with no losses introducing bla bla bla." We get it hes undefeated of course the ****ing dude doesnt have any losses.
Really listen to what he says and how he words his phrases it's no where near on the level of Buffer.
has a smaller budget than HBO, do you honestly think they'll pay buffer his 1 millie + for his intro?!?!?!?!?!
Smaller budget? Showtime have a Floyd on a 6 fight contract.
These are two of their cards in December:
December 7th on Showtime:
Trout v Lara
Bika v Anthony Dirrell
Malignaggi v Judah
Alexander v Porter
December 14th on Showtime
Broner v Maidana
Thurman v Karass
Leo Santa Cruz v Cesar Seda
Shumenov v Kovacs
Ortiz V Alfonso Gomez
It's okay though, HBO have a more expensive ring announcer. :rofl:
It's definitely not the same without Buffer.
I remember seeing him on Boxnation dressed casually and talking boxing in his surprisingly normal voice. Seems like a cool guy.
I like lennon jr a lot more! I loved when he introduced tyson! Please welcome the one and onllyy iiiirrooonn miiiike tysoooon! Perfect!
Exactly! BTW i think Michael Buffer is shot. Hes getting to old.
Nothing really to tell, lol. I've just talked to a few people that met him, and said that he's not a nice dude. Also heard he spent a lot of time trying to sue people for using the "let's get ready to rumble" phrase.
I had heard that too, but about 10 years ago I sat behind him at the fights. We only spoke briefly but he was actually very nice.
Don't believe everything you hear, he makes nowhere near that, maybe 2% of that
Bull****, he gets 25k plus flight/Hotel for each fight.
you 2 might be right, but i remember an special on him saying he's paid 1 millie for the 5 words he got trademarked. and as of 2009, Buffer had earned over $400 million from licensing on the trademark

My bad, its actually 5 million for those 5 words that he got TRADEMARKED son!
