Jose Canseco Looking To MMA For Financial Relief?

The Detroit News bring us this not-so-shocking revelation about Jose Canseco's current financial situation:

Since 2008, the state of California and IRS claim Canseco owes more than $320,000 in delinquent taxes, according to public records. The most recent tax lien was filed last month against Canseco, 45, who was paid more than $45 million during a 16-year major league career.

What's owed:

The IRS filed a $121,209 lien against Canseco on Jan. 7 with the Los Angeles County Recorder of Deeds.

The state of California filed a $101,037 lien on June 2, 2009, in Ventura County Court.

The state of California filed a $29,739 lien on Dec. 12, 2008, in Los Angeles.

The state of California filed a $68,210 lien on July 7, 2008, in Los Angeles.

MMA Mania has more details on Canseco's recent pattern of behavior and why it's fairly obvious that his desire to fight Herschel Walker is primarily financially driven.

As MMA fans, lets just hope that Strikeforce is aware of this news and chooses not to enter the Jose Canseco business.
