David Beckham reveals he will donate his salary from PSG to charity
David Beckham reveals he will donate his salary from PSG to charity as the club confirms he has signed a five-month contract. Report by Genelle Aldred.
You're retarded if you think that David Beckham, the most well known
footballer in the world, is donating his salary for publicity.. He doesn't
need attention, he's fucking David Beckham! He's announcing it because he's
passionate about it genius, and don't say that he's not genuine because he
reveals it to the public. He is literally one of the most generous athletes
in the world when it comes to charity. He does it because he cares, hence
the "GENUINE" SMILE when he talk about it dumbass.
In case you guys didn't notice, since the first press conference until
today, the said charity has remain anonymous! Even when Beckham was being
interviewed after the match, he didn't even mention the name of the
charity, nor the amount of his salary, because like he said, both are
private! Bet if the name of the charity is revealed, the French Gov will
take the money from the charity, just like they're trying to do right now!
Why upset? Guess you lot here are working with French Gov, then?
Spot on Moose. Wake up people please ! This is nothing more than a totally
shameless, orchestrated push for a Knighthood by a grinning goon (who seems
decent enough) and a pout on a broomstick who really have no interest in
charity at all, just their own personal selfish agenda to ensure that "
Brand Beckham " continues to grow. These empty,shallow pair really should
take a good look at themselves over this and "Tim, nice but dim "needs to
grow a pair and tell pout a few home truths.
Your dead right Warnocks, as i have said previously it is just a totally
shameless, orchestrated plan to buy a knighthood by an immoral, shallow
pair of empty, attention seeking self obsessed cretins, and how anyone
cannot see them for what they are is beyond me. I used to have high regard
for Beckham when at his best for England and deep down seems a really nice
person but he really needs to have a good look at himself and what that
snidey idiot he is married to has turned him into.
So, let's see if I get this right. This guy makes 175 million dollars
hustling metrosexual consumerist crap that oppresses children in chinese
factories and fills the western imaginery with consumerist inducing crap,
gets married to that upper class twat and behaves like an upper class
moron, is too old to play to cut it in european leagues, France would tax
80% of his, say, 500,000 dollars in wages, and then he announces to
everyone about his philanthropy to prove himself- FAIL.
Oh get real. Beckham has no morals, he's been promoting factory slave work
for over a decade, with a wife who cares so little about the downtrodden
she actually calls herself Posh. 80% of the wages at PSG would go to tax,
and Becks isn't giving up on any of the brand income he'll be making off
his return to the european and french market and fashion. He has 200
million dollars and you're praising him for giving up what's like a mere
200.000 dollars.
Whatsup whit all the hate?? He could just have taken that money. He is
playing for free for a season and donating the money,ask that to Ronaldo or
Messi,they will leave the club before doing something like that. Its
fucking disgusting watching people talk shit about rich people who are
actually doing big things and the hugest example is Bill Gate,who donated
over 40.000 millons to charity yet people talk shit about him. Let the
hating begin!
Very disappointing to read that people are hating on beckham for this. It's
true that this charity thing will make 'the brand beckham' even stronger
throughout the world and it will bring more profit to his name. However the
man knows that he has enough earnings from sponsordeals etc.. He knows that
he can miss this money and gives it all to charity, name me one athlete who
does the same and gives his entire salary to charity?
i make more than 50 million throughout my career so now i will donate about
2 mill to charity. i am a great human being. Bitch please messi has donated
more money than beckham and he collectively earns lesser than beckham.
Messi has his own charity foundation. Drogba also donates more. The actor
from matrix gave 85 percent of his money to charity. So shut the fuck up
everyone
what does it matter? Beckham makes a monthly $540.000 in America, he won't
come here for free surely. Even if PSG pays him less, say 400k a month,
that is going to charity over his 5 months contract, which means he has
then donated 2 MILLION euro. How much have you done? Standing ovation for
Becks over here. If he still keeps some money from this or that, good for
him.
Wait, he's only signed a five month deal to play for PSG to go to that
French charity instead of and 18 month one, which was the original deal,
what does that tell you???,..... that he's a money grabbing c**t, despite
the courteous donation. I'm sorry people, but it's just not the real world
he's living and those paying him should know better.
What does any of that matter tho? Who gives a shit what he makes and how he
makes it? how many other high end athletes are giving away 5 months of
salary to charity? Thiery Henry is making more than Beckham was in Galaxy,
with 7.5 million a year, and i don't see him donating half a year worth of
anything. Beckham should get the appraisal.
I believe if you want to help charity you should do it confidentially, Him
saying it to the press takes away from the fact that actually its great
help however he's doing it for publicity.. Many artists and footballers
give to charity but at least they don't give it for publicity, They do it
cause they are genuine.
Niall Quinn is one of the very few footballers who is thoroughly decent
with high morals and standards who has always done wonderful, tireless work
for others in so many different ways. And when did you last see him telling
the world about it at a stage managed conference solely aimed at furthering
his own agenda ?
it is funny most of the people are cheer up when he said giving up his
salary for the charties..how much he gonna pet paid? none asked and
said...how much he gonna make through merchandising and appearance bonus?
none asked and said....i want to see a footballer spirit not a football
product
He receives only 5% of his earnings through salary. And is the highest paid
footballer in the world. Ahead of Messi and Ronaldo. You better believe its
tax avoidance(evasion is illegal) and publicity. I can't describe how much
I dislike this arrogant, self selling punk.
I agree I mean look at bill gates and the amount of money he aims investing
using charity if more rich people where willing to share there wealth to
the less fortunate or to research or other things that better humanity the
world would be a better place.
It will inspire he's fans or people to be like him... That's his point! Do
you think it's that easy to give away a lot of money?? Call it Good motive
or Bad motive for me it's still good because he is giving... Lets just
appreciate he's action...
Charity should remain anonymous, otherwise it can become an image enhancer.
No disrespect to beckham, I don't have the right to question his motives,
but why bring attention to what you donate? Doesn't that kill the point of
charity?
All the fuckers slating Beckham here, I just wanna ask you how much do you
donate you muggers. You just can't see someone doing something good.
Beckham is such a gentleman, he is the player i respect and love the most.
So desperate for attention and for his knighthood, can't imagine once his
anorexic cunt wife gets to be called Lady Oh dear, Charity is not supposed
to be a party attraction but a heart feeling. This twat is so pathetic
fuck me this world is full of cynical fucks. at the end of the day the
motivation for him donating money should become irrelevant when it is such
a large amount. ask yourself what the fuck you are contributing.
dunno why some people slaggin him off on here he is giving all his money to
charity so good on him he has got more money than he ever needs so its a
great gesture and this is coming from a liverpool fan.
most of David Beckham's earnings come from Herbalife. I know a great
company that just opened up, so if you wan't to one day become a
millionaire please take a chance to message me for more information.
i do agree with this. It was a great act of kindness by becks an he ruined
it all by putting it out there in the press. Real charity doesn't look for
attention or praise. It's done in secret.
Totally agree Julian, this shameless grinning goon would flog his backside
if it improved his chances of buying a knighthood, which is all this
charity stunt with PSG is really all about.
great bit of PR there Mr beckham....you have gained saturated coverage of
your charity work...which should increase the value of brand beckham...hope
the wifes clothes line takes off...
