Good question. Well, Balboa sounds Italian enough to most Americans I think.
I never knew it wasn't an Italian name.
Maybe they just really liked it, and thought it was catchy, and didn't really care that it wasn't Italian because most people probably wouldn't catch it anyways.

Stallone chose it. He wrote the script for the first Rocky movie.
