This seems like beef with Irwin that's spilling over to Creed. I do hope Stallone has SOME of the Rocky rights. If he doesn't that just seems wild to me.

and there doesn't really seem to be. Frank is a known clown/asshole, who will do/say anything to be seen and heard. Guess them TruTv residuals getting smaller and smaller.

but his brother looks like he is focusing on the wrong target.

I had read some article where Sly said he was beefing with old dude he sold the rights to, but that he'd rock with MBJ in the future, should there be a Creed 4 as long as dude didn't have anything to do with it.

20. "It puts the fan in a torn situation in regards to Stallone." In response to Reply # 19
He made Rocky. He wrote, choreographed, acted and promoted the franchise, and he doesn’t own any rights to the franchises, and Creed is a branch off that franchise.
None of this would exist without Stallone, so I understand why he has a lot of discontent with the movie and film studio.
MGM owns 100 percent of the rights of the Rocky franchise and he has approached them a multitude of times about acquiring some type of ownership, and they shot him down.
He doesn’t have anything personal against Jordan or any of the other actors, but it is truly disheartening situation.
And you would hope that Coogler and Jordan are looking at it as being in the same situation as Stallone when he first started, because they have given Adonis Creed an identity , but they don’t own shit either.

21. "I really felt bad for Stallone" In response to Reply # 20
dude said “everyone told me there is no way you can make this movie in Hollywood and “keep it”
I would think someone with serious money would partner up with Stallone to get ownership.
Cost of doing business I guess

22. "I kinda feel bad, but here is another way to think about it. " In response to Reply # 21
Stallone made Rocky, but Rocky also made Stallone. Every huge payday he earned after Rocky is because MGM made a bet on him and the movie he wrote. The alternative history is they could have bought his script, cast another actor, and Stallone wouldn't be where he is today. Stallone made a lot of money from that franchise and after despite ownership. He learned the lesson and made sure that it didn't happen again.
MGM made a bet on Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan. If Stallone was in charge of the franchise, we don't know if that would have happened. It's a big deal for a franchise to switch franchise player and who knows if Stallone would have given up the reigns like that. Like he tried the storyline of Rocky training a younger fighter and he chose Tommy Gunn. *shrugs*

23. "I’m sure this is their argument as well" In response to Reply # 22
but IMO writing a script AND starring in it AND crushing that shit is the reason why I feel bad for him.
I’m happy Creed happened for Blackness
I’m still made I was rooting for Rocky as a kid. I was duped.

its his brother?
thought dude was being funny by calling him Frank
That’s like being asked about Patrick Mahomes annoying brother tik toking
I bet Paulie’s character is inspired by Frank Stallone.
