Who pays the buyers agent?

I would like to know who pays the buyers agent?  Is the buyer responsible for paying or does the seller pay?

99% of the time, the Seller is paying the buyer's agent's commission. The only time I've seen otherwise, is when a FSBO (for sale by owner) refuses to pay any commission, but the buyer still wants proper representation by their Realtor, so they offer to pay a commission to their agent to negotiate the transaction and see it through Closing.
