Even on PTI yesterday they were talking about Beckham's $500 million transfer fee workout to a lot less than that.

Beckhams deal was $250 million not $500 million and was not a transfer fee but the salary he was supposedly getting from the MLS.
Wilbon had doubts about teams getting the actual amount of the transfer fee but he was wrong.
Edit: The $250 million deal for Beckham was like NFL deals where a guy signs for 100 million but the deal is not guaranteed and they never end up getting the full amount of their deal.
