"Boxer Chuck Wepner inspired Sylvester Stallone's "Rocky" films -- and the fact that he never got a cut of the billion-dollar franchise inspired him to sue.
 
Both events inspired "The Real Rocky," the entertaining ESPN documentary that gives the colorful Wepner the chance to finally get his due.
 
The specific event that led to Stallone's Oscar-winning "Rocky" movie was Wepner's 1975 fight against Muhammad Ali. A 40-to-1 underdog, Wepner had put together an uneven record."
