Bruce Buffer

[Halifax]

I'm sure Buffer gets paid well but dude ain't getting 50k a fight lol.

13 fights on a card and that's 650k lol. Some of these fight nights that'd probably be about the same as every fighter combined lol.

50k an appearance is what I should have said.

 

[M.A.G.A.]

Bruce Buffer is way too over the top he is a fucking clown but he does fit in with what the UFC is all about

Class is his brother Michael Buffer, a true hall of fame ring announcer

Oh, that makes more sense haha.

Still seems crazy high. Dude gets ringside seats to any UFC fights he wants, wouldn't have to pay for accommodation or flights, etc. and all he has to do for it is yell into a mic for a bit each card.

UFC does like 45 or so cards a year. If Bruce just does 30, then at 50k a card that's 1.5 million lol.

Dude has life figured out.

Joe Martinez all the way

 

[AppliedScience]

Nothing is worse than “Make some noise. If you. Are. Ready!” (Martinez)

The contrast:
Maybe Buffer fits the UFC the way Jimmy Lennon Jr. fits Showtime boxing.
Appropriate for the level of professionalism in different ways.

Is there anyone else out there, that can't stand this guy anymore? He is so over the top now, he's become clown-like to me and a little embarrassing. He turns so red yelling into the mike, that it looks like his head might explode! I wish it would. Is it just me?

anymore? could never stand him from the beginning. he's downright embarrassing. even if you can put up with the whole screaming bouncing clown routine, the worst part is the bias towards certain fighters over others, how one guy will get way more attention than his opponent. it's so unprofessional it's nauseating. been waiting for years for them to shitcan this guy.

Gotta go with the golden tonsils and bilingualism of Martinez. Also, Martinez doesn't have ab implants

Dude puts in his all to keep that job. So good for him. Can’t hate the hustle. Gets front row seats to every ppv and gets to hang in the cage with fighters. Shit. Great gig.

 

[IIIIIIII]

He..... talks....... with....... big...... gaps...... between..... words...... and.......it's........ annoying.

i like that even more. it makes what he says sound more epic.

Fair enough, you're definitely in the minority on here though

Exactly this. He has a great voice for the job. All the moves and routines aside, there really is no reason to hate on the guy. He's doing his job and adapting to try stay relevant.

He's a clown in real life too, just watch the competition karaoke video he was in when he blew out his knee if you don't believe me.

I think Joe Martinez is good,but i am in no rush to retire the Buff

It was the funniest shit ever, he did his patented jumping 360 while trying to sing and just fell on the ground hooping and hollering. Lol, I can't find the video but here's the link and a picture. The videos been deleted for whatever reason. https://www.sportingnews.com/au/oth...hile-doing-karaoke/1cc0f8qzlkcfk1ffup3wb7agel

I mean it's kind of a "clown" job in the first place.
