Won't his paycheck go down? I didn't know the MLS had that much money to throw around.

Posted: 1/11/07 at 2:51pmHe's going to sign with the LA Galaxy, and no, his paycheck won't go down. Supposedly his deal is worth $250 million dollars.

$250m is the entire mls budget for the next 5 years.
c'mon, he's a laughingstock. he quit as captain of the british team after being embarrassed on the field and only managed to crack the starting lineup of real madrid five times since signing with them. he's like the male anna kournikova.

Posted: 1/11/07 at 2:55pmWill he really have that much impact on the sport here in the US?

Posted: 1/11/07 at 2:57pmIt might siphon some of the ratings from figure skating.

Calvin...it might get some ratings from figure skating but it'll never overtake bowling.
I guess this is like a last ditch effort to make soccer popular in the US, which will never happen.
Here's a link to the Yahoo article. Five years, $250 million...

Posted: 1/11/07 at 4:37pmI might actually go to a game now though....purely to hope he takes his shirt off at some point!

Yeah I thought all the teams combined in the MLS didn't even make up $250 mill!
Becks is pretty but he isn't worth that much!

Posted: 1/11/07 at 6:18pmJust as long as he doesn't open his mouth... to speak.
