How did Rocky not think to endorse every product on Earth after Paulie blew his money in Rocky V? He had already endorsed stuff in Rocky II so this wasn't a foreign concept to him. Clean cut white American Heavyweight champion would make bank.


Yeah let us say he had lost all his money. And was flat broke. He was still bankable. I knew he had trouble reading etc. But shoot, put him in commercials to endorse something. And tell someone to simply give him his lines. And I am sure they could have came out with more stuff to merchandise to make more money. Are you going to tell me his name was not worth a dam thing? And he was forced to go back to being broke, and back to the neighborhood where he was from?

Also, how old was Rocky by Rocky 5? I would say at least 36 or so. I seriously doubt that he would have won a street fight with Tommy Gunn, without Gunn coming back at some point and kicking his arse.

He was old in boxing years in the 1st movie, he has the kid in the 2nd movie, and the kid's like 12-13 by Rocky V. I'd think the youngest he'd be is like 45, so yeah an active young boxer at the time should probably kill him. Especially considering Rocky's brain damage.
