Beckham's company, DB Ventures Ltd, alleges that F45 "duped" him into signing a deal that left him significantly lighter in the wallet.

The lawsuit claims that Beckham, who had become F45's Global Ambassador, never received the promised $10 million for his role, despite the company's assurances. The agreement was based on the premise that Beckham's massive social media following would help expand F45 Training's reach and visibility. However, it seems that things took an unexpected turn.

To add insult to injury, the company's stock took a significant hit, further exacerbating Beckham's financial losses. Interestingly, social media posts related to the failed partnership have mysteriously been deleted.

F45 Training, not willing to go down without a fight, requested the judge to dismiss the lawsuit, labeling it as "fraudulent." However, the judge ruled against this motion, declaring that the case will proceed.

This is not the first time that F45 Training has faced legal trouble regarding its business dealings with high-profile figures. Back in 2017, former professional football player Terrell Owens filed a similar lawsuit against the company, claiming that they failed to pay him $700,000.

The ongoing courtroom battle between Beckham and F45 Training promises to be a high-profile case, pitting two fitness titans against each other. As the litigation unfolds, the fitness industry awaits the outcome with keen interest.
