Will the real Rocky please pay up?

Did you see this? Evidently, Chuck Wepner, the Bayonne Bleeder, has settled his lawsuit with Stallone out of court. Wepner had been sung Sly for fifteen mil, claiming that Sly owed him for being the inspiration for Rocky Balboa.

Stallone has never shied away from admitting that Wepner inspired him, saying openly that the Rocky script took shape after seeing Wepner nearly go the distance with Ali in 1975. Why exactly that means that he owes him 15 superlarge, I'm not sure, but hey Chuck, get that money son. I'm sure you need it.
