    Lmao that’s ******ly wrong!

    No damn way Bob of all people would pay Buffer millions to do a 1 min or near 2 min announcement or guys like Don King back in the day pay him anywhere close that!

    He’s likely touching 200K if that while the average announce likely touches 75K or less!

    I won’t lie, when he does announce the fight it does give that feeling that the fight is gonna be an epic match!

      Just proves you can go a long way if you are handsome and have a good voice. And you don't live in your mom's basement like most poster up in here.

        I don't think it's about us buying it, this is what is being reported by finance watchers, there is several sources saying the same thing, and who knows what this guy pulls down in terms of marketing and endorsement dollars, video games, etc.

            He was in an interview a few years back. He said that he wish he made the money that people claim that he does. But he said is well compensated for his work.

            His family manages and schedules everything for him so usually he is on the go.

            No question that he is an iconic figure in big boxing events.

              Buffer has done low profile fight announcements. I wonder how he charges..

              I think Buffer is beyond cliche at this point. For the real pugilist thinking about the 1st feel out round etc...or analyzing the whole fight, Buffer's announcement sometimes feels like nothing but delaying the 1st round! lol. But he aint banking no 5mil. The OP is trolling in that hes subtextually punking Floyd. pacterds do that

                You guys realize he makes money outside of just announcing right? You guys in here breaking your heads trying to figure out how much he makes for each announcer job lol.

                On a side note, listen to Buffer on the Hotboxin podcast with Tyson. Good listen if your stuck in traffic.

                    An absurd post, do the research for yourself, I am a fan of Mayweather, my post has nothing to do with him, and since he is #1 all time in earnings, and mabye even in the ring, why is it a bad thing how well Buffer is doing in terms of rankings?

                      He's a consummate professional and has one of the best gigs in boxing. One of the few to get rich without exploiting anyone or fighting himself. You can tell he really loves boxing too. He always seems to be intently watching the action whenever you see him in the front seats.

                      Wonder how much DAZN gave him for the exclusive contract... Was probably a ****load to keep him around for a while longer.
