250 Million Dollar Man – David Beckham
Beckham is coming….Beckham is coming…..Beckham is coming stateside…. This is something that I’ve been predicting for the past few months. As he approaches the twilight of his career, this is one last opportunity for him to get super paid! The implementation of the “Beckham Rule” paved the way for this landmark deal. Similar to when Pele & Franz Beckenbauer tried to raise the popularity of soccer in the US during the 70’s, Beckham will attempt to take the game to another level. He is the only athlete with the global reach that could garner such a response. If this cat gets a new hair style its front page news, remember when he got cornrows… lol… I have a feeling Rolando will be following Beckham stateside to get his piece of the American Pie.
As a soccer fan, I am pretty excited at the new found interest with soccer in the US. Though Beckham is not as good as used to be, his star power will definitely make an impact. Check out the details of “Golden Balls” deal!

—————————————————————————————
David Beckham is set to become the first modern footballer to have a stake in the football club he plays for – and share in its profits.
“Golden Balls” – as he has been nicknamed by the tabloids – may not have a golden share but he will make money from LA Galaxy, possibly as much as $10m (£5.14m) a year in profits.
Insiders I have spoken to have painted a fascinating picture of the astonishing $250m (£128m), five-year deal he has signed with the Los Angeles team.

An annual salary of $10m His existing sponsorship contracts with his four sponsors – Motorola, Pepsi, Gillette and Volkswagen – are estimated to be worth $25m His merchandising shirt sales will bring in $10m His share of the club profits: $10m |
