Arum tells Rafael he is "very close" to finalizing with HBO, but it looks like it'll be in the theatre unless he can get HBO to go for a tripleheader that includes Seanie Monaghan against Juergen Braehmer:

But while the card won't happen as Arum envisioned or when he wants it, he told ESPN.com on Wednesday that he is "very close" to finalizing a June 11 date with HBO that would feature the Lomachenko-Walters match (a superb fight on paper, by the way) in the main event with rising Puerto Rican lightweight prospect Felix Verdejo fighting an opponent to be determined in the co-feature.

Arum said the show would take place at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York

Arum said he would consider trying to book the larger Madison Square Garden main arena for the card if he can convince HBO to carry a tripleheader on which he would like to secure popular Long Island, New York, light heavyweight Seanie Monaghan a world title shot against Juergen Braehmer, who first defends his secondary title against Eduard Gutknecht on Saturday in Neubrandenburg, Germany.
