    David Beckham...Is it worth it?

    Beckham earns twice anybody else in MLS

    NEW YORK (AP) - David Beckham will earn 50 times Major League Soccer's average salary this season, which has risen 12 percent to $129,395.

    At $6.5 million in guaranteed income, Beckham makes twice as much as the second-highest-paid player in the league, Chicago's Cuauhtemoc Blanco ($2,666,778), according to figures released by the league's players union. Beckham joined the Los Angeles Galaxy at midseason last year and brought new attention to the league, which launched in 1996.

    D.C. United's Marcelo Gallardo was third at $1,874,006, followed by New York's Juan Pablo Angel ($1,593,750) and Claudio Reyna ($1,265,000), and the Galaxy's Landon Donovan ($900,000).

    Forty-six players earn the league minimum of $33,000. Among developmental players, 30 make $17,700 and 43 make $12,900.

    The median salary - the point at which an equal amount make above and below - was $61,273 for the 333 players listed. That is up 16 percent from last year's median of $52,965.

    Guaranteed income includes salaries and a prorated share of signing bonuses plus marketing bonuses payable in 2007. Beckham has a $5.5 million base salary.
    holy smokes, he isnt even THAT good, all he has now are freekicks/corners

          I'll admit, that he coming to MLS has actually made me watch it more.. I try to watch his games, but sometimes they are on to late. I remember before he came, all the hype surrounidnign his arrival. lol He has only played 7 games or something like that and LA has only won one.

            Umm, I watched their season opener against San Jose Earthquakes (Azizi's old team ). He scored in open play, megging the keeper in the opening minutes. Later on in the 2nd half, he had a really nice back heal flick over a couple of defenders to assist the 2nd goal. They won 2-0

                          Saved them from what? They won nothing anyway, i think they are better this season (without him) than last season.
                          If you were reffering to the spanish league last season then check your books again + its always 50/50 there between them and Barca so its not that hard to win it.

                              Beckham's insane shirt sales were the real cash cow for Real.
