Honestly, I figured it would be more. You're asking an international superstar to come to a fledgling league in a country where soccer is little more than an afterthought. I think the contract will pay off for LA, and I'm already making plans now to fly to LA to see Becks play. I can't wait. I'd probably check out a Fire-Galaxy game, so they're already selling tickets. Where the hell is the Galaxy getting $250 million, is the MLS paying a huge chunk of it? Maybe Roman Abramovich is buying the Galaxy too.
