    Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Buffer Was 'Next To Awful' In The Beginning

    The “Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel” segment on the Buffer brothers set to debut Tuesday night is hardly just about Michael Buffer bellowing out a catch phrase.

    The piece, reported by correspondent Soledad O’Brien, explores how Michael Buffer grew up in foster care outside Philadelphia and finally met his biological father, Joe, and younger brother, Bruce, after Bruce noticed him announcing boxing on television in the 1980s. It also addresses the throat tumor that threatened Buffer’s career six years ago before it was surgically removed and how Bruce Buffer, UFC’s ring announcer, and his older brother have transformed five simple words, “Let’s Get Ready To Rumble,” into a trademarked empire.

      What I find rather bizarre is the fact that Buffer probably makes more money than 98% of fighters in the fights that he announces.

        Exactly, and at the same time you got so called fans up in arms over a guy like Haymon, unlike some of boxings past most unscrupulous characters, has actually been looking out for his fighters and maximizing their worth.

              When Mike Buffer dies, so does boxing.

                    What's more bizarre is that he's copyrighted that catchphrase of his.
