Mark Wahlberg’s company, F45 Training, is embroiled in another legal battle, this time with soccer icon David Beckham’s company, DB Ventures Ltd. Beckham, who served as F45’s Global Ambassador, alleges that he never received the $10 million owed to him and claims he was misled into signing with the company. Despite F45’s attempt to dismiss the lawsuit, the judge ruled against them, allowing the case to proceed.
This lawsuit follows a similar pattern to a previous legal dispute involving F45 and NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens in 2017. Owens claimed he was never paid the $700,000 he was promised by the fitness company. These allegations suggest a pattern of financial disputes between F45 and high-profile figures in the sports world.
David Beckham rose to international fame through his illustrious soccer career, playing for renowned clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid before joining the LA Galaxy in the latter part of his career. It was during this time that Beckham formed a connection with Mark Wahlberg, who is now the chief brand officer of F45.
Similarly, Terrell Owens had a successful career in the NFL, playing for several teams, including the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Dallas Cowboys. His lawsuit against F45 adds to the company’s legal troubles and raises questions about its business practices and treatment of celebrity endorsers.
