Why is David Beckham suing Mark Wahlberg for $10 million and what is the F45 training deal?

Football going to war against cinema is unheard of but this time both spheres of profession will be at loggerheads as David Beckham is preparing for a legal battle against American actor, Mark Wahlberg and his investment group based on 'fraudulent conduct', says an NY Post report.

The lawsuit may be worth $10 million and will be related to F45, a fitness center chain in which Beckham was reportedly, heavily invested upon. He was also featured in social media posts related to the promotion of F45 and was also a global ambassador of the brand, increasing its outreach in regions where his footballing stardom has no bounds.

Interestingly, all posts where Beckham has promoted F45 through various kinds of content have been taken down from the official page of the brand, according to reports.


Moreover, Wahlberg along with his co-defendants, in response to the lawsuit, have urged the judge to dismiss the case because Beckham was not showcasing his own set of responsibilities and that the 'case has no merits'.

Back in the year 2022, Beckham tried to join forces with LIV Golf supremo Greg Norman, who was also suing F45 related to some other issues. However, the court in California rejected Beckham's move to align interests with Norman and ordered him to file a separate suit related to his own issue with F45.

Reportedly, Beckham, alongside Wahlberg is also suing the latter's investment firm by the name of 'Mark Wahlberg Investment Group', along with F45 founders Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch.
