David Beckham is paying the price for getting into a shouting match with hecklers at a soccer game!

The commissioner of Major League Soccer fined Beckham $1000 on Friday following a verbal spat five days earlier between the star and some rowdy fans, says the Associated Press.

During the halftime of an exhibition game, Beckham shouted at a group of fans who'd been heckling him, daring them to come down from the stands onto the soccer field. The AP says he even attempted to hoist himself over some advertising boards, but secured stepped in.

Police ended up arresting one spectator who left the stands.
