Sylvester Stallone is angered that Carl Weathers would not sign off on Apollo Creed footage for Rocky Balboa.

"Apollo Creed is not in ROCKY BALBOA because he wanted many thousands of dollars for a two-second piece of he and Rocky boxing," said Stallone. "Unfortunately we couldn’t afford it. Then again, what ever happened to loyalty? Apollo Greed?"

Weathers played Creed in the Rocky series from 1976 to Rocky IV in 1985.

Stallone confirms that Mr. T and Ivan Drago make brief appearances in the new film:

"[They] are in a quick montage before the main event in ROCKY BALBOA. It’s only for a second or two, but I appreciate their agreeing to participate."

how lame

With his huge hit Action Jackson I am surprised Carl Weathers would ask for money..that and his well paying job at the car wash.

what about Tommy Gunn?

what a tool

what about Tommy Gunn?

he's got teh aids

I would have assumed there would have been plenty of money to go around.

He probably just didn't pick a good number to start or stop with during negotiations.

MGM almost went bankrupt... they're just now starting to pick themselves back up

if stallone cut back on teh roids, he could afford apollo.
