I read his salary is $50 million and the other $200 million is endorsements. Still, making $10 million a year in a floundering league... MLS is banking on Beckham selling out stadiums and selling football-like numbers of jerseys... not going to happen in the USA.

Beckham says he's coming 'to make a difference'
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES -- David Beckham has conquered the rest of the world as the most recognized soccer player around. Now, he's ready to take on the America.
Wearing a black suit with white shirt and black tie, Beckham shared his thoughts a day after agreeing to a five-year contract with the LA Galaxy that could be worth $250 million.
" I'm coming there to make a difference. I'm coming there to play football," Beckham said Friday via satellite from Madrid. "I'm not saying me coming to the States is going to make soccer the biggest sport in America. ... But I think soccer has a huge, huge potential. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't believe in this project. This could create something that we've all never seen before."

I'll be her boo boo.
BTW, the question mark could probably be switched for a period in the thread title.
