To the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever wavered from the quarter-billion figure when it comes to his overall compensation package. As for being lazy, I first pointed out that his compensation is mostly from alternative sources the day after the story broke: http://laist.com/2007/01/12/last_nights_action_david_beckham_richer_than_you.php Regardless of how it technically lines his pockets, it's guaranteed money that wouldn't be paid to him if he wasn't damn good at kicking a soccer ball.

Stop being lazy and fanatical. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=410562&cc=5901 http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/loney/?p=287 http://levyashin.blogspot.com/2007_02_18_archive.html</p>
