- He picked you, Rocky. Rocky, it's the chance of a lifetime. You can't pass it by. What do you say?

- All right, fellas, fellas. That's enough pictures. We wanna ask Apollo a few questions.

- Apollo, how do you like the city of brotherly love?

- Well, just being in Philadelphia makes me feel patriotic. Beautiful people in a beautiful city comin' up to me on the street wishing me the best. I love my Philadelphia brothers, and I'm proud to be an American.

- Champ, Apollo, why did you agree to fight a man who has virtually no chance of winning?

- I don't know about that. Is it a coincidence that he's fighting a black man on the most celebrated day in the country's history?

- Right on! Tell the truth, brother! Apollo, tell me... how do you feel about your challenger?

- How do I feel about him?

- Yeah.
