Hill-Maske II to be shown on American PPV

Press Release: Cruiserweights Virgil "Quicksilver" Hill and Henry "The Gentleman" Maske square-off Saturday, 10-plus years since they originally fought in the same venue, in the twelve rounder headlining "The Rematch" pay-per-view card, live from Munich. The show will be broadcast live in the United States on cable and satellite pay-per-view starting at 4 PM/ET, 1 PM/PT for a suggested retail price of only $24.95.  "People are going to see a big event," Hill said from Bavaria, "second only to a major show in Las Vegas. This is much more than an opportunity to see two guys squaring off at the tender age of 43. I'm having more fun than I've ever had. I've been training since October, so I already was in good shape. I will be here a month when we fight and now I'm in great fighting shape. I've put in the work and done everything right. I definitely won't have any excuses because I'm physically fit and mentally prepared." Hill (50-5, 23 KOs), a former light heavyweight champion and reigning WBA cruiserweight titlist, beat Maske by 12-round split decision (116-113, 115-113, 112-116) in their 1996 light heavyweight unification bout. Maske (30-1, 11 KOs) has come out of more than decade in retirement to fight Hill in their Mar. 31 rematch.
