I don't get it, everyone is curious about why Elie is no longer allowed to speak to Brandon Rios, it came a shocker because from watching Elie's videos it seemed Brandon and him were super cool and Brandon would always say Elie if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be this popular and he would always wear ESNews shirts from time to time even during training, now they no longer speak, I used to enjoy watching Elie's videos with Brandon too.
I saw this video from Chris Robinson he was allowed to film Brandon Training today, and other media are allowed to film him, but Elie is no longer permitted to come to the gym when Brandon is there, Elie never answers when people ask him, and Elie never answered about the Freddie Roach situation to clear the air.
Why don't they just keep it 100 and tell the fans why they no longer speak?
I've seen some of your vids and I must say you have some pretty good stuff. Hopefully one day you can get to Elie status without having to be annoying like Elie lol.
Thanks a lot...
Interesting reading of the replies in this thread...
I have no idea what happened with Brandon and Elie and it's honestly none of my business...
I can definitely say that I'm happy how my Youtube Page has taken off in just a matter of months. Fighters are like brothers to me, I'm around the gyms all the time so it was only natural for me to start up a page because I knew I'd be able to bring exclusive stuff that nobody else is doing...
That said, things are going to take off even more next year, 2013 will be crazy with the boxing coverage... Stay tuned

LOL Elie throws punches like a toddler wtf?
But that dude was blasting Elie hard, pretty good beard on Elie he can take a punch but damn embarrassing. I think even Fat Dan would beat him in sparring.
His footwork is amazing though.
The funniest part is in the video Elie put up of the fight where Pavlik scores the fight in his favour :lol1:
Elie is everywhere, but he has to chill out a little when fighters are going to work. You see a guy going hard on the mitts then Elie keeps asking questions and the intensity lowers . Thats the One thing that really bothers me when watching his videos, he disrupts the intesnsity of the work out at times instead of letting them do their thing like Chris Robinson.

Ok i'll tell you, Elie is annoying as fvck, but they were cool with Brandon until Maidana came in Garcias gym. You can tell Rios was upset at that time coz he wanted the Maidana bout, but since they have the same trainer it probably won't happen in near future. Elie was asking stupid shit and Rios warned him to stop with the childish questions, but Elie kept asking and instigating things, Rios had enough and he told him to fvck off....
Yeah Elie is an instigator he would always ask Amir Khan, you versus Pacquiao who wins? knowing they train under Roach, I was surprised Khan never got mad at Elie's uncomfortable questions.
I remember when Elie kept trying to make it uncomfortable between Rios and Maidana knowing they both train together now, he was asking if they would fight. I miss Rios getting mad at Elie though, it was my favorite part, now Elies videos are crap, he doesn't cover anyone else. I used to love it when he covered Pacquiao at wild card and the celebs and other boxers who visited there, It was awesome because Elie was the only one Roach allowed access to Pacquiaos camp at the time, until Elie the instigator ****ed it up by making fun of Roach with Margarito and Rios, and he burned that bridge he had with Roach.
Now Elie burned his bridge with Rios.
Elie seems like one of the biggest two face snakes to me, he tries to instigate. I think Kelly Pavlik will be the next one to get fed up of Elie and get a restraining order on him barring him from the gym during his training.
its more annoying when Elie interviews that trainer "Jorge Diaz" the one who always wear shades on his head to cover up that hairline
Can't stand that guy, his claim to fame is he was Pacquiaos sparring partner at 122 pounds, yet he hates on Pacman hard. I bet you Pac probably whooped that dudes azz in sparring.

That was made by that Apollo James Jackson guy who hung around Garcia's gym for a couple of days.
His sparring session with Elie is worth a watch

it seems like rios is trying to clean up his act, as soon as he got his PR person, elie stopped showing rios. I think rios was advised not to be on elies videos anymore so he can get a better rep since elie posts a bunch of crap sometimes. but I do think there is aliitle more to it...
Might be the fact that he's on the verge of being in very big fights and he can't be just giving out free access to some guy who hangs around the gym with a camera. None of the top guys do unless the networks are paying them for it.
It is great exposure for Robert Garcia though, there's no doubt about that.
There is a classic video he has of Brandon Rios imitating different fighters (Sergio Martinez, Floyd Mayweather, Amir Khan, Manny Pacquaio, etc). Dan Rafael, Chris Robinson, etc, would never capture that in my opinion. Just because of the different in reporting style (professional reporting vs. casual reporting).

Ellie's videos are great imo. He gives a good insight and while some may get annoyed i.e Joe Goosen, it seems like a lot of people actually like him. Look at his relationship with Robert Garcia and how they get on, it shows just how they are down at Oxnard gym. In fact its thanks to Ellie that Robert Garcia is now my favourite trainer personality wise. Yeah he posts some dumb videos like how Floyd won a bet and that annoying Jorge Diaz guy, but the guy is an innovative reporter and boxing is all the better with him in it.
Hopefully Rios and Ellie can clear the beef because Rios's videos were hilarious and made me a big fan.
Atleast he actually does actual work, Dan rafael sits in his attic on his PC, dude never travels or sees or talks to anyone, just his email box.
This couldn't be anymore false. He probably does a ton more traveling than Elie Suckback.
And it looks like Brandon has finally realized that Elie is indeed a dumbass.
A bunch of HATERS in this thread.
Ellie is the man, dude is the only dude who's been providing us insider videos for years, he filmed so many excellent shots of Boxers/Trainers in relaxed state's when they aint infront of a camera like HBO or some reporters.
Its a thankless job but he goes all around the states, dedication. Oh and dude is loved by laker fans, he was only one to get that lakers access.
War Ellie. keep making the videos.

This is his PR chick, she lets him hang with cholo rappers and talk like a dumb head on twitter yet won't allow Rios to be on Elies videos?

Chris Robinson is 100x better then Elie it is not even close, I see people on Chris youtube videos talking about "Elie This, Elie That" Elie was not even the first on youtube to cover boxing nor was he the first to go to gyms and interview trainers and fighters
Elie was Covering and annoying the fuk out of the Lakers about 3 years ago
I do watch his videos and I respect his efforts because they guy be EVERYWHERE covering boxing but I do think people at the Gyms get tired of him after awhile asking the same questions OVER AND OVER
I don't think they are getting tired of him, they seem to genuinely like him. Secondly, it's free exposure. Third, after a while, they are pretty immune to his camera and his personality.
I think Chris Robinson is more knowledgeable and has the more professional videos. But that is the very reason he may get less notoriety. Elie's videos aren't so serious and seemingly 'fun'. And in response, a lot of his interviewers tend to respond in that way, responding casually and genuinely and sometimes seriously. It all depends. But it doesn't feel like business as usual like an ESPN, CNN, or Chris Robinson video. Elie's videos would have you thinking you can literally be friends with them yourself.
