Former baseball slugger and Miami-Dade resident José Canseco is at it again.
A representative of the firm Celebrity Boxing confirmed Sunday that
Canseco was a no-show Saturday at a boxing event in Hollywood – and
instead sent his twin brother Ozzie in his place, El Nuevo Herald has
learned.
Some 30 minutes before his bout against Billy Padden at
the Passion nightclub at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, it
was discovered that the Canseco who was in South Florida ready to fight
was not the same guy who hit 462 homeruns in the Major Leagues.
Damon Feldman, promoter of the celebrity boxing program, which
also includes female boxing, had tell about 400 fans who had paid their
tickets that there would not be a fight.
“We discovered the
Canseco who showed up was Ozzie when he took off his shirt and didn’t
have José’s tattoos on the biceps that appear in our advertising,” a
Celebrity Boxing representative told El Nuevo Herald. The man said he
did not want to be identified.
José Canseco did not respond to telephone calls.
On Sunday, however, José Canseco posted two messages on Twitter saying:
“Damon Feldman did not comply with his part of the agreement,” and “be
careful with Damon Feldman, the Celebrity Boxing leader, who will not
pay you if you fight for him.”
Holy shit Jose has a fucking twin brother??? How have I never heard of this guy before. Can we even consider Jose Canseco a celebrity anymore? I don't remember reading anything about this roid head in the last 10 years that didn't make me laugh at him. I don't get how he would say that the promoter won't pay his fighters, yet he still sends his brother to fight for him. I think he is just a huge pussy that is craving any attention he can get.
