On New Year's Day 1976, world heavyweight boxing champion Apollo Creed has successfully defended his title in a split decision against challenger Rocky Balboa.

In a private moment, Rocky goes to see a recuperating Apollo, and asks whether Apollo gave his all in the fight; Apollo confirms that he did.

Rocky at first seems unaffected by Apollo's smear campaign, but his limited education and illiteracy soon lead him into financial problems.
