Michael Buffer Interview - How it all started

HBO's interview with the famous Michael Buffer.

[@Billy23201]

He's the best. He makes the fights sound maybe even better than they actually are. He adds a classiness to it, that otherwise isn't there.

400 years old is enough I guess.

He's one of a kind.

[@TimothyBrake]

Legendary quote! His brother is now the famous ring announcer of the UFC. Bruce Buffer with his spectacular: “It’s time!” and the audiences go nuts 👍

[@dieniewienie143]

From what i've read he puts a lot of thought into his announcements (rehearsing, leaving out unnecessary details, arranging it in a way that builds up the crowd hype, makes sure to pronounce all the judges names correctly, etc) Definitely paid off for him;

[@jeecreative]

he's such a gentleman, carries himself with real humility. Gotta love Mr.Buffer, a boxing match is never the same unless he announces the fighters.

[@traineralexander14]

Couldn't agree more...

[@johnthesportsarchivist2600]

Buffer could announce anything. He'd could be at the grand opening of a restaurant or a car wash and announce it and it would be awesome. "For the thousands in attendance, and the millions waiting with baited breath. Ladies and Gentlemen, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[@cHrIs84.]

Buffer was great in wcw but the greatest wrestling ring announcer ever is The Fink Howard Finkel

[@nikolatatic6770]

@@cHrIs84. Not bad just not my cup of tea. My favorite from WWE was Tony Chimel, even if his voice sometimes cracked (example - rated r superstar). But this guy (Buffer) overall has no competition.

*Thank you for your service Michael Buffer*

[@KleWdSide]

Yeah, try faking your resume in today's day & age.

[@JuiceStaticHotel]

I would've never thought Bruce has this business mentality. I guess I underestimated him a tad bit. Both Bruce and Michael are great ring announcers, no doubt. I always liked Michael more, though, because he seems so natural and his voice is so smooth. But if you think about it, Bruce's way of announcing is perfect for the kind of atmosphere MMA has - it makes you feel so alive.

[@f.torres1771]

That Ali impression is on point 😁

[@MrBranh0913]

wow, I think this is my first time hearing Michaels real voice. Sounds far more "grounded" than I would have thought.
