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.............. -
yeah do boxers even have a union? do they receive any type of healthcare or benefits?

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. -
? rocky... ? was way overrated anyway

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

This ? would always ? me off too. How you gonna put up a statue to a movie character, when you have Smokin Joe from your home town?? -

and don't you think 'settling out of court' involved him getting paid? -

lump sum not paid everytime Rocky is shown -
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.
