Eventually they offered him a 250,000 deal and Stallone accepted. The next thing he did was go back to the liquor store to buy back his dog, and the owner sold it back to him for 15,000 and a part in the movie to buy back his dog. Rocky won the Academy Award for best picture in 1976. And at the awards he read out all the rejection slips from those who said the film would fail, and that no one would want to watch it. What we can learn from this is that Stallone persisted and knew his outcome and today, he is living the dream because of it.
