When it comes to my personal ranking of all the Rocky movies, Rocky IV is easily in the Top 3 of the franchise. The story of Rocky Balboa traveling to the Soviet Union to battle Ivan Drago to avenge his dead friend is iconic. To the point where if such a bout really happened in 2025, I'm sure a small fortune would go into making the world watch it with a Netflix subscription.
Another element that would be around in 2025 is betting odds, and while I know there are some strong opinions on how much its intertwined with the world of professional sports, I'm only human. As such, I couldn't help but be intrigued when a site provided the sportsbook numbers for this movie, and it has made me appreciate the film a lot more.
