LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo Tickets
About the LA Galaxy
In the furor following the announcement that global soccer icon David Beckham has agreed to what appears to be LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets a record-breaking $250 million, five-year contract with the L.A. Galaxy, most of the questions have centered LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets quite rightfully on what Beckham will do for the league and how Major League Soccer will fund the deal (and perhaps bankrupt itself in the process).
The simple answer is that MLS and AEG won't actually pay for the contract -- at least not the bulk of it. AEG, LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets a subsidiary of the Anschutz Company, helps ensure MLS' financial backing and owns the Chicago Fire, Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles Galaxy; when the league was founded, AEG owned most MLS teams.
On first glance, Beckham's deal appears to be the biggest contract in sports history (reportedly paying LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets Beckham $50 million for 2007), dwarfing that of the heavy hitters and trendsetters LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets in other major sports (MLB's Alex Rodriguez made $25 million in 2006 and the NBA's Kevin Garnett is making $21 million over the course of the '06-'07 season).
However, on closer inspection, one can see that the reported contract estimates have been carefully worded. AP LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets reported that the Galaxy, citing industry experts, said the Beckham deal "is worth more than $250 million in salary and commercial endorsements." The key phrase to note here are the words "commercial endorsements" and LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets not the word "salary." LA Galaxy tickets It's actually more an estimate of what people think he could potentially earn as opposed to what he will receive annually in paychecks from MLS and the Galaxy.

The reality is this: The salary portion of Beckham's deal is relatively minuscule compared to the huge figures LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets being bandied around and is well in line with what most top soccer players around the world currently earn. Bear in mind also that Beckham probably decided only on Thursday to sign with MLS after Real Madrid's contract LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets offer almost certainly would have required him to take a pay cut (this is conjecture, though, since the LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets details of his negotiations with Real Madrid have not been made public).

A league source confirmed to ESPNsoccernet's Kristian Dyer two weeks ago that the offer on the table from MLS LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets to Beckham was a four-year deal worth $36 million (at $9 million annually). Reuter's Michelle Nichols reported LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets Thursday that MLS sources say his annual playing income is only in the "single figure millions." Even if MLS LA Galaxy at Houston Dynamo tickets upped its original annual salary offer, the logical assumption is that it would only be by a few additional million or so per year.
