Michael Buffer’s trademark call, “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!”, will ring out at Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford this weekend, but his declaration that the winner would claim the “most prestigious belt in boxing history” has sparked debate among fans and pundits. The special edition Ring Magazine belt, valued at nearly $200,000, will be awarded to the undisputed champion on fight night at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas. Buffer, long associated with boxing’s grandest stages, emphasized its prestige in front of a global audience. However, the statement has raised eyebrows amid ongoing debates about sanctioning body belts and the proposed UFC-style overhaul in boxing. Buffer said, “The most prestigious World Championship belt in boxing history has always been the Ring Magazine belt! The winner of Canelo vs Crawford will receive this special edition valued at almost $200,000.” Michael Buffer branded a ‘sellout’ In a week where Max Kellerman called Dana White the best promoter in the business, fans were quick to respond, pointing out that the Ring Magazine belt is not a world championship title. “The WBC is! Stop kissing a** to Turki,” said one. Another added, “It’s not a legitimate world championship. It’s an ugly trinket from a magazine.” A third stated, “Hey Mike, stop sucking Turki d***! We all know that the most prestigious world championship belt is the WBC belt!” A fourth commented, “The Ring Magazine’ Belt’ isn’t a recognized world title. It’s a promoter belt. You’re such a sellout.” The most prestigious World Championship belt in boxing history has always been the @ringmagazine belt!
