I think it will put asses in the seats for the league in the short-term. Unless other top notch and or formerly top notch players sliding down the wrong side of 30 start to come over, the league and thus US interest will wain. I just don't know how many of these type contracts MLS can afford to offer. You can't blame the guy for taking the money. He already lives a rock star/ movie star life... what better place to play/live than Hollywood? I read that he will make like a million dollars per week during the length of his contract. He'll certainly be able to afford to buy his old lady a few very much needed sandwiches with that kinda scratch.
