100% true. many guys don't want to fight augustus because he is a high risk fight but not a ppv marketable name according to hbo.
people who have consistantly followed his career know why guys are hesitant to fight him and why he doesn't get many top fighters. and it's not because he isn't a crowd pleaser.
Augustus has been in a Fight of the Year, I don't think his entertainment value is in question. Augustus has alot of losses on his record, but realistically many of those are unjustified. He deserved the decision in most of his fights, but always seems to get the lesser fate. Case and point, the Courtney Burton. Augustus is a tough fight for anyone at 140 and under.
