Continuity mistake: In Rocky V, the boxer in the sign at Mighty Mick's Club is looking right at you, but he is looking at his left shoulder in the past Rocky movies.

Question: When Rocky goes bankrupt, I find it hard to believe that he couldn't have kept his lifestyle. With his popularity as champion, couldn't he be hired as an analyst for ESPN, Showtime or HBO? What about a book deal? He could have even done speaking engagements and appeared at shows for five figures. Or even do commercials?

Answer: Rocky is bankrupt due to his manager's mismanagement and is now nearly one million dollars in debt. Any money he could make from endorsements, commercials, etc. would only be garnished. He also suffers from depression and was diagnosed with having some brain damage from his last fight, possibly making him unsuitable as a spokesperson, public speaker, or sports analyst. Of course, it also serves the plot better if Rocky is in more dire circumstances.

It was a great storyline for the film, but in actuality, a person as large as Rocky was in the film series, a million dollars in debt surely would not have hurt him financially and caused him to go back to the ghetto of Philadelphia, as much wealth that he accumulated after his fights with Apollo after Part Two.
