That Jose Canseco Is One Great Guy—Er, I Mean, I Am....
Jose Canseco failed to show up for a paid Celebrity Boxing match in Florida, sending instead his twin brother, Ozzie, according to the bout's promoter, Damon Feldman. Said Feldman, "The guy I thought was Jose kept asking me to pay him in cash. I told him I had to pay him by check. We went back and forth." Finally Feldman got a text message from Jose's phone that read, "You have to pay him." "I was confused by why he wrote 'him,' " Feldman said. "Who would've thought he would've sent someone else?"
