Jose Canseco blames two costly divorces for the financial woes that led to the foreclosure on his home. What's an admitted steroid user to do for cash? How about celebrity boxing? Canseco and promoter Damon Feldman are seeking a challenger to fight the former Oakland Athletics star on July 12 in Atlantic City. The chosen opponent will be paid $5,000. No word on whether Canseco, who admitted to having used steroids throughout his baseball career, will be juiced for the fight.

perhaps he could just let people punch him once for 20.00

just the waiting line of current and ex-MLB players would net him at least a million or two.

Hmmmm July 11th is my birthday. What a great present. Hopefully someone puts this sack of Dog $hit in a Coma.

I want to see Nolan Ryan vs. Canseco. I bet Nolan puts him in a headlock and bashes his brains in Robin Ventura style.

Nolan was pretty tough for a "older" guy, I bet he still is.

You might be on to something there...I'd plunk down some cabbage to see Canseco Vs. Tyson. Tonya Harding Vs. the gator could be the undercard.

If I give him a nickel, would he go buy a better hat??
