Do you think he really would have paid Wepner if the fight didn't have anything to do with Rocky? Even Apollo Creed was fashioned after Muhammad Ali. Rocky 1 is still the best because it was based on real life. The rest were just utter crap.
    Actually the movie Rocky was a love story between Rocky and Adrian and that love story had nothing to do with Wepner. The Ali Wepner fight inspired the background for the love story but in no way should Wepner have deserved any money. It's unfortunate he sued Stallone and won.
    The original was a great movie, and the others were entertainment based on Stallone's ego. The movie Rocky Balboa was actually outstanding.
    If you like Rocky you will love Rocky Balboa. Rocky Rocky II and Rocky Balboa follow the story line and blend quite well. The rest in between were crap.
