how he gon make an inspirational movie series and end up getting inducted in the Boxing Hall of Fame, but he ain't break no bread for the cat that he got the idea from

that ESPN 30 for 30 on Chuck Wepner was sad, Stallone wrong for how he did cuzzo

had a ? all inspired by the music, and come to find out he basically wrote a biography on a real person and didn't pay the man ?


I swear boxers are the ones who get it the worse after they retire from their sport SMH

    naw i didn't see it. so rocky an autobiography or this dude just gave stallone thei inspiration to write rocky? Big difference in terms of having to pay a guy. you know hollywood is a business. you would think stallone would bread dude off some off gp though and to keep ? out the court system.

    he gave stallone the inspiration to write rocky, but the movie is basically cuzzo's real life

    he even put in Rocky III the scene where Chuck Wepner actually fights Andre the Giant (in the movie Stallone is Rocky fighting Hulk Hogan)



    in the end Wepner ended up suing Stallone to get his paper..................as successful as that series of movies was, he could've looked out for dude better than that IMO

    the doesn't even seem to care about the money. he was content with just knowing that he was the inspiration.

    he said he didn't even seek money until his wife put him up to it.

    SMH @ Stallone easily caked at least 1bil if not more off of the Rocky franchise alone

    Wepner should still be eating off that


    boxers don't seem to possess the most financial smarts..............

    but people don't own their life story.

    only reason he got paid is because Sly was using Wepner's name when describing the inspiration for the movie.

    true @ the bolded

    Sly should've never admitted that he used him for the inspiration for the story

    I saw it... surprised they shot at Ringside Lounge where all the newspaper reporters were talking down the street from where I live.... mad boxers always come thru there but as I mentioned in the Reason way too many people been shot or stabbed to death there at night.
