Now selling – Fake Rocky gloves!

0413 gloves ex

All those eagerly awaiting the auction being organized by Profiles In History (PIH) the well known dealers in ethnic antiques might soon be disappointed. PIH had promptly said in a press release about auctioning the gloves that Sylvester Stallone wore in Rocky first. However, as soon as the Rocky star got a whiff of things he sent a letter claiming that the gloves weren???t the real gloves from Rocky first and thus aren???t authentic.

According to TMZ

A pair of boxing gloves said to be worn by Sylvester Stallone in the original “Rocky” movie have just been pulled from a high profile Hollywood auction — all because Sly himself is calling BS on the authenticity of the items. The gloves were set to hit the auction block next month during an event organized by Profiles In History — a pretty well-known memorabilia dealer. But once Stallone got wind of the event — his lawyer, legal pit bull Marty Singer, fired off a cease and desist letter to PIH stating, “Be advised that these items are not ‘Sylvester Stallone’s boxing gloves from the first Rocky’ and they are not authentic.”

Stallone has already taken a stand in the matter firmly, that being against Profile In History. The auctioneers seem in a tight spot right now having been received a letter by Sylvestor???s lawyer Marty Singer. The auction was set to go on floor somewhere mid this year with the now famous, rather infamous gloves in the box. However, PIH has claimed that though the matter is being looked into they are sure the gloves are pretty authentic and legitimate. Well Stallone, gong for round 2 just went off!
