Wow, they could just pay me 10 mill and get me...I also can't cross with one foot and don't know how to get past a player. P.S. not the biggest contract in american sports (shaq holds that I think)..but surely the biggest in footie? Title: Re: Beckham - $50m a year to play for LA??? Post by: Rod Paradise on January 11, 2007, 04:15:12 PM More news - The spanish press are saying that he's taking a cut in salary from 7.4M euros per year at madrid to 2.25M euros in LA but that they've renounced all image rights.
They're calculating these rights at just over 30M euros per year, so I suppose that's where the 50M dollars come from. Title: Re: Beckham - $50m a year to play for LA???

But it would help raise his/hers profile in the states...so I think the missus might have influenced the desicion a bit there. Title: Re: Beckham - $50m a year to play for LA???

Hell, in Real Beckham alone paid for four of the big name players..the man deserves every penny he gets from an economic point of view. Title: Re: Beckham - $50m a year to play for LA???

Title: Re: Beckham - $50m a year to play for LA??? Post by: boldie on January 17, 2007, 12:00:59 PM Well LA aint paying most his wages, the MSL league sponsors are. To be honest this whole thing is over hyped...He will only make a few mill a year in salary..the rest he gets from his sponsorship deal and image rights. So the league sponsors aren't paying for it nor are his club. Title: Re: Beckham - $50m a year to play for LA??? Post by: Rod Paradise on January 17, 2007, 12:14:55 PM absolutely obscene.
