Michael Buffer
Michael Buffer with his tuxedo image and famous trademarked phrase is one of the most recognized faces in the world of sports and entertainment due to his 20 plus years of announcing many of the biggest championship boxing events with “LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!”® (hereinafter referred to as “LGRTR”®).
Mr. Buffer is now called upon to announce many different sports, entertainment, corporate and private events often utilizing “LGRTR!”®. He is considered the “Premier Sports and Entertainment Announcer” by millions of fans worldwide. The demand for his special voice-over work for entertainment and special promotion is constantly growing due to the fact that his voice is so highly distinguishable to the public.
“LGRTR!”® is known as the “clarion call to the pure integrity of the competitive spirit”, promoting an “adrenalin boosting, positive will to win attitude!” in the hearts and minds of fans of all ages.
Many NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL teams create a higher level of excitement playing Mr. Buffer’s “LGRTR!”® and the player introductions before the start of their home games through special DAT recordings or the use of a prerecorded CD called Jock Jams (which recently went Platinum). Due to this exposure, we have been inundated with requests for personal appearances or special voice tapes by Professional Sports Teams, Minor League Teams and Collegiate Teams representing all sports, along with numerous corporate functions, T.V. shows, movies and cartoons (such as the Fox Network T.V. show, “The Simpsons” and Comedy Central’s “SouthPark”) and private functions.
Mr. Buffer’s international exposure is huge, with Europe being his largest market outside the U.S. As an example, it is estimated that Mr. Buffer is familiar to over one-third of the German population (approximately 25,000,000 people) due to the fact that boxing is Germany’s #1 watched television event. This international popularity led to Mr. Buffer’s release by Mercury Records/Germany of a disco song entitled “LGRTR!”® Which was #6 on the DJ play list and in the top 20 in national sales. His popularity spreads to Austria, Holland, Italy, England, France, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China and elsewhere. He is in demand for personal appearances around the world.
