The Rocky movies copied off the Cinderella man story.
No it's not a 100% copy. But there are so many similarities that it clearly was used as a Bible of sorts.
The Cinderella man marries the sister of his best friend. Rocky marries the sister of his friend.
Adrian & the cinderella man's girlfriend/wife didn't like the boxing violence,so they rarely see the boxing matches in person.
Rocky damages a body part in Rocky 1 & needs to switch hands when he boxes in rocky II. The cinderella man damages one of his hands & needs to switch hands when boxing.
Both boxing fighters are south paw left handed boxers.
Both Boxers have tons of money & loose it in bad investments. The cinderella man had a lot of money that he lost in bad investments. Rocky lost all of his money in Rocky V thanks to paulie making bad investments.
The Cinderella man when he had money,made a bad investement by opening up a bar. He lost the bar because he let too many of his friends drink for free. Rocky in that "Rocky balboa" movie has a sports bar restaurant that he owns.
Both fighters were considered wash outs & the betting odds were really poor for them when they both fought for the championship belt.
Both Boxers fought someone in the ring that killed someone in the Ring. The World boxing Champ that fought the Cinderella man killed someone in the ring. In Rocky IV,The Russian boxer killed Apollo in the ring.
Both fighters had no managers when they started boxing & got managers.
In Rocky I,Rocky had a side job where he worked on the docks. The Cinderella man when he got hurt & quit boxing for a while,Had a job where he worked on the Docks.
Both boxers had really bad boxing records at one time in their lives.
