Fame game not over for scorned ex-slugger Canseco
[SIZE=-1]The Associated Press[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Jose Canseco might want to dust off that muscled-up "Bash Brother" moniker one more time. He needs a colorful nickname for his introduction as he enters the boxing ring Saturday night for a celebrity match against child star-turned-radio host Danny Bonaduce. Before Canseco pummels a Partridge, he wants a flashy name that fits the oversized personality of the former steroid-fueled slugger.[...][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]If celebrity boxing promoter Damon Feldman really wanted to cash in on Canseco's willingness to name the names of alleged steroid abusers like himself, maybe the next opponent should be a ballplayer. [...][/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]"People want to see him get beat up," Feldman said. "That's what it's all about."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The exhibition takes place at an ice skating rink in Aston, Pa., and can be ordered on Internet pay-per-view. Vince Papale, the former Philadelphia Eagle who inspired the movie "Invincible," is the guest referee. Recognizing the limited athleticism of the fighters, the bout features only three, 1-minute rounds. Against Sikahema last July, Canseco was flattened with a left hook 30 seconds into the fight and was finished after a few more punches.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Canseco and Bonaduce are guaranteed an appearance fee, which Feldman declined to reveal, and each will earn $2 off every PPV order at GoFightLive - Home. The rink holds 2,200 tickets and Feldman is hopeful of 25,000 Internet buys.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Canseco expects jeers from frothing fans and exaggerated chants of "Ster-oids!" "Ster-oids!" as he steps between the ropes. He accepts it as his penance for a pair of ripped-from-the locker room books that transformed him into one of the more vilified athletes in sports.[/SIZE]
