Can you picture Rocky Balboa in a New England Patriots jersey? New England reaches the big game after a stellar 13-3 season, as well as an impressive postseason run.
On Wednesday, Carpenter challenged Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney to the "Rocky v".
Now, should the Patriots capture their third Super Bowl title in four years, the Rocky Balboa statue will wear Patriots clothing. He joked that the city might have to grease the statue to prevent fans from scaling it to remove the gear. The boxer iconically climbs those 72 stone steps in multiple movies. The wager involves two famous boxing statues: the Rocky Balboa statue in Philly, and Brockton's statue of Rocky Marciano, who, unlike his Philly counterpart, was a real boxer. That statue sits in Champion Park on Brockton High School's grounds.
The mayor of Brockton has boxed himself into a bet with Philadelphia's chief in the hopes that the Eagles will face a rocky road next Sunday against the Patriots.
In a Facebook post, Carpenter called the wager "good-natured fun".

"It's going to have to be a quick photo for either city", Carpenter added. Kenney accepted, Enterprise News reports, and in addition to the decked-out statue, the victor will also receive some of the loser's local alcohol.
If the Eagles lose, Kenney will give Carpenter a keg of beer from Yards Brewing Co.
Yards is already involved in another "Battle of the Beers" bet with Boston-based brewery Harpoon.
The Patriots will look to capture their second straight Super Bowl victory on February 4, as well as their third Lombardi Trophy in the last four seasons.
