Showtime to televise Haye-Maccarinelli

PRESS RELEASE: SHOWTIME will air the cruiserweight title unification fight between world champions David Haye (WBA, WBC) and Enzo Maccarinelli (WBO) scheduled for Saturday, March 8, from the O2 Arena in London. SHOWTIME will televise the fight on a same-day delay basis (TIME: TBD) with Steve Albert and Al Bernstein calling the action from London. The executive producer of the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast will be David Dinkins, Jr. with Bob Dunphy directing. "This is a match-up that we simply could not pass up," said Ken Hershman, SHOWTIME senior vice president and general manager, Sports and Event Programming.  "Stylistically, this fight sets up to be an all-action barn burner. Add to that the unification of three out of four world titles and you've got a fight fans dream come true."Â
