Rocky Balboa has suffered a stunning knockout!
At the hands of his scheduler.
To be precise, Sylvester Stallone will not, as previously announced, give “A LIVE Knockout Conversation” in Costa Mesa on Aug. 7.
The talk by the movie star and screening of his iconic film Rocky at the Segerstrom Center has been canceled “due to a scheduling conflict,” according to the performing arts venue.
Ticket holders will be contacted by the Center Box Office with further details, or you can call (714) 556-2787 with any further questions.
