Jesus. This about to be lit.
Leave the Fonz out of thisBut he's literally made it clear as to what his anger is geared towards though if you'd bother to read up on it. You're running with a narrative to justify thewhen this particular situation isn't it.
He's literally upset and mainly angered towards Henry Winkler and feels like he was cheated out of the rights or at least part of it to the Rocky franchise and anything related towards it. MBJ and Dolph Lundgren are literally caught in the crossfire because of that very reason.
If anything MBJ and them are paying homage to Stallone by continuing the series with new characters that‘s forged from old ones. Even Stallone was ok with that (in Creed 2 he literally told Adonis that it is his time now) the real reason why Stallone is mad is because he underestimated how profitable the series will be without him and he wants his cut.Incredible, man. Dude really took the franchise from Stallone and he's about to take it to a whole new level. I know Stallone is mad, but truth is... he should be all in on this. You should always give the baton to new younger blood cause they're tuned in with the new trends and know what's happening. His success would be Stallone's success, if he wasn't an old jealous racist italian cac.
I love the Rocky franchise, always have, it's one of the best American stories ever told. Too bad Stallone is too racist to see what MBJ is trying to do.
FOH with people trying to act like Stallone is the bad guy hereAll white people have cac tendencies
but Stallone is mostly a good guy. He gave MBJ and Coogler a shot and regardless of the revisionist history in here, Mr. T and Carl Weathers are probably grateful to have gotten paid and the opportunity to act in those Rocky films. Plus, he’s a Philly legend IDC if it’s a movie

Sylvester Stallone had some harsh words for a paparazzo in Beverly Hills Thursday ... grousing, "This f**king n***er here, this f**ker."
Sly was leaving Caffe Roma with a friend. They were followed by a group of photogs. Sly then hurls the racial epithet. It comes at 7 seconds into the clip.
The video is a little difficult to hear, but as Sly turns the corner and looks over his right shoulder -- back at the paparazzi -- you clearly hear him use the n word. A little later in the video, you hear a female photog say to Sly, "Why the racial slurs?"
There were African-American photogs shooting Sly at Caffe Roma, but it's unclear if the epithet was directed at them.
What's the story with this? Stallone surely gave up the rights fair play?Incredible, man. Dude really took the franchise from Stallone and he's about to take it to a whole new level.

And Stallone was supposedly even "inspired" to write the screenplay for the first movie because he watched Ali defeating some cac in the ring.
What's the story with this? Stallone surely gave up the rights fair play?
Stallone’s clash with Winkler is an even bigger reason for his absence in “Creed III,” so big that it might mean Stallone never plays Rocky again. The two have long feuded over rights to the “Rocky” franchise, which Winkler has owned since the Oscar-winning 1976 original. Stallone naively sold Winkler the rights all those years ago when he was a struggling actor and clearly unaware of the franchise potential for the character.
Stallone first opened up about his resentment over the “Rocky” rights in a 2019 interview with Variety. Although he earned net points on the original movie — which cost just over $1 million to produce and grossed $225 million globally — and received first-dollar gross on the early sequels, Stallone does not maintain the rights to the characters.
“I have zero ownership of ‘Rocky,’” Stallone told Varietyat the time. “Every word, every syllable, every grammatical error was all my fault. It was shocking that it never came to be, but I was told, ‘Hey, you got paid, so what are you complaining about?’ I was furious.”
