Rocky is forced to sell his mansion and auction off the family's belongings to pay off the mortgage debt.

With such a condition, it would make it impossible for Rocky to continue boxing in any status, leaving him no choice but to retire with Adrian and the doctor recommending. During his doctor's appointment, Rocky is diagnosed with cavum septum pellucidum, a condition that is seemingly permanent and irreversible brain damage. Desperate to win back some of his lost fundings, Rocky decides to have the match against Cane, but Adrian recommends that Rocky should see a doctor firsthand. In addition, the account failed to pay Rocky's taxes within the past six years, and the mansion had a $400,000 mortgage. Adrian reveals to Rocky that Paulie had signed a power of attorney over to Rocky's accountant, who had squandered his entire investment on real estate deals gone sour. Rocky, Adrian and Paulie ( Burt Young) return home to their lavish mansion, but as Rocky is checking on his son, Adrian and Paulie have an argument, which turns out to be a dramatic life-changing situation. At a press conference, a promoter named George Washington Duke ( Richard Gant) tries to urge Rocky into having a match against Union Cane, the new #1 contender to his world title in Tokyo, but with Adrian insisting on her husband's retirement, Rocky decides, at least for the time being, not to take the deal to have the match against Cane. Rocky returns to Philadelphia from the Soviet Union and is greeted by his son, Robert ( Sage Stallone).

In distress, he mistakenly calls out for 'Mick', the name of his deceased former trainer, Mickey Goldmill. Tony praises Rocky for his victory, but Rocky, seemingly in some form of severe physical discomfort, asks Tony to summon his wife Adrian ( Talia Shire). Rocky Balboa ( Sylvester Stallone) and his trainer Tony 'Duke' Evers ( Tony Burton) are in the dressing room after a recent boxing match against Ivan Drago.
