"Jose 100% took a dive," he tweeted. "We paid half up front and he got double if he won. We thought that would ensure he’d fight. We were wrong."
Portnoy on Saturday broke down the earnings Canseco received from appearing in the fight.
"So here is how @JoseCanseco got paid last night. 50k guarantee. He got 50k more if he won. He also had a rev share if we broke our record for PPV buys. We shattered it. Get ready to puke. Jose made over 1 million dollars for 5 seconds last night. I don’t feel bad for him anymore," Portnoy tweeted.
Canseco tried to hype the fight Friday morning, tweeting "I’m fighting tonight for everyone who’s tired of Barstool Sports being on the internet."
