Great move by Showtime, they need something like this after Malignaggi and going dark in February (ridiculous, by the way).

March looks strong now and April 12 is a great show with Dawson-G.Johnson. Gearing up for a strong spring at least...

Arslan isn't the wba champ he's the "regular" champion or some crap like that. Haye is the undisputed champ at cruiser.

Arslan can have the WBA title when Haye evetually moves up to Heavyweight. Haye will throw it in the bin for Arslan to get it out again.

No he isn't.

Great news, and excellent exposure for both. I'm more excited about this one than Calzaghe-Hopkins, and I'm bloody excited about that!

I'm pretty sure its around 20,000.

Anyone know what time this is now showing at for the UK.

Thought it was going to be "normal" 9-10pm.

But caus of showtime is it going to be another late one
