      According to a relative, when Rocky decided to form Rocky Marciano Enterprises Inc., a growing, packing and shipping firm, in 1957, he had to go out in the middle of the night to a field in Brockton to dig up several thousand dollars he had buried to get the money to start "Rocky Brand" potatoes. However, this venture proved a financial flop as a rare Florida freeze destroyed 1,700 acres of potatoes in Homestead, Fla. "I should have left my money where it was safe," Rocky muttered.
