The midfield star is on course to bank a projected £128million across the five years of his U.S. deal and has already helped sell 250,000 replica shirts.
He is scheduled to start with Galaxy against Chelsea in a friendly a week on Saturday.
Given the hype, it is a surprise the fixture is not yet a sell-out.
Apart from lifting a poor Galaxy side, Becks aims to keep his England spot. Mission Impossible? Well, he is a mate of Tom Cruise.
