Jose Canseco, the steroid-abusing snitch who keeps slinging mud at former teammates, may have pissed off his last few fans on Saturday night. About 400 people sat disappointed at a Hollywood casino, when Canseco's celebrity boxing match was scrapped because he had secretly sent his twin brother Ozzie to fight in his place.

It's hard to believe that people would still pay to see Canseco (or any celebrity boxing match other than Nicki Minaj vs. Sarah Palin) but he seems eager to trade his undeserved good fortune for universal scorn.

A representative of Celebrity Boxing told El Nuevo Herald that they realized it was Ozzie once he took off his shirt and didn't have Jose's tattoos on his biceps. Since then, Canseco has refused to communicate in any form other than ranting on twitter about the promoter, Damon Feldman.

Feldman said he's worked with Canseco in the past but now thinks he may have been duped a few times.

"Maybe I never actually never met Jose before," he said.
