Top 10 Strange Celebrity Trademarks

4 Michael Buffer: Let’s get ready to rumble

Although it may seem a bit crazy, Michael Buffer was able to trademark the phrase “Let’s get ready for rumble!” in 1992. Although he wasn’t the first to use the phrase, the boxing announcer was. The expression was well-known, so he decided to make some money from it.

He was very smart in his business decision to trademark the phrase. Business Insider reported that he earned more than $400 million by selling his rights to the phrase to movie and video game producers. That’s quite a lot of money. The catchphrase is so well-known and used today, but it’s all due to Michael Buffer.
