The first notes you hear from the brass was in Rocky, the storyline of a fighter getting beat, training hard, fighting again is from Rocky, and there is a lot of Rocky music in the show, even "Eye of the Tiger"!
If they didn't want this show to be about Rocky they went the wrong way in my opinion. The only thing missing was frozen meat instead of speedbags on the hooks, they could even store the meat in the food truck freezer between shows!
I'm not complaing about the show, I loved it, I'm just saying........................
