Sylvester Stallone sold the rights to make this film with the condition that he be cast in the title role. Producers offered him $150,000 to let Ryan O'Neal play the part.

He wrote it for himself in his late 20s. It was never meant for another actor to portray Balboa. Check your facts

Sylvester wrote it .I'm sure he had himself in mind since he was a struggling actor at the time.
