Man.... just imagine being on that contract.....

But Im sure Posh can show that away in a few hours on Sunset Blvd... haha

I reckon in 5 yrs time... that will be best business deal for the Beckhams and the Galaxy... a Hollywood type football player.. playing in Hollywood....

Might watch my 2nd MLS game next time I'm over there.... even though the first one was a big yawn due to the quality of play....

its a very nice retirement fund, i think it will get the MLS more PR and he can shine a bit more in a lower quality league.

the money makes me sick, but smart move and kudos to Becks.

is this a joke?

 

[Richo]

You'd hope so

$ a year? Didn't MJ get only $30 million/year? If I'm not mistaken, Becks will get $51 mil a year?

You're not allowing for inflation though.

 

[kidd05]

Inflation is only 4%.

I want a another raise!

Yes...but compounded over 10 years the figures are pretty similar (why am I giving economics lessons all the time....especially when they are likely to be wrong!!):roll:

Anyone see his press conference. He said the switch from Real Madrid to the Galaxy wasnt about the money, WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT!
$320 Million Contract, nah it wasnt becuz of the money lol

i reckon he does want to go to the states, but not entirely for the $$. he wasn't going to take a paycut, so thats where the money comes into it i guess. go figure

Well in theory.. he is taking a paycut.... for playing, the cap for MLS is $500,000 a team... the other $319.5m is just business
