Why does Elie Sekbach always create enemies? Roach, Martinez, Rios

I don't get it, does he push the boundaries on purpose? It seems he loves to instigate stuff. Why? Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao pretty much gave him his break, and man when he used to do videos from Wild Card Gym it was awesome, he would talk to hte different boxers, he had access to Pacquiao's training, his sparring partners, Freddie Roach treated Elie like he was one of the family, even Pepper liked him, than this idiot Elie has to go and blow it by doing some two face crap when he visited Margarito and Robert Garcia's camp for the Pac vs. Margarito fight and apparently was giving them insight on Pac's training and than the ultimate blow he released that video of Margarito and Rios mocking Roach. Rios, Margarito and Garcia were cool with Elie even after that video was released, but Elie basically hurt their image and than crushed his connection to Roach, Roach banned him from his gym. Elie than bragged about the video saying hey HBO if it wasn't for my video of Rios and Margarito making fun of Roach your fight wouldn't have had controversy and controversy sells. I guess he was okay losing his connection to Roaches Wild Card Gym and it didn't bother him. Word is he also got kicked out of Sergio Martinez training camp, he no longer can do interviews with team Martinez, I have no clue why. The final big blow was Brandon Rios, The only think cool left about Elies videos was Brandon Rios on his Reality show. Rios seemed to like Elie and get annoyed by him so it was funny watching Rios get pissed but they seemed really cool, than they stopped talking after and Rios was no longer in his videos, and Rios really hates Elie its no joke he used to say F you Elie but it was ina joking way, this time he has venom whenever someone drops Elie;'s name. Apparently the reason Rios stopped talking to Elie was because Elie released a video of Rios getting beat up at a party drunk or something, not sure if thats true. I am surprised Joe Goossen hasn't banned Elie from interviewing him, also Elie used to talk crap about Floyd now he is on Floyds nuts and his biggest defender, and now he is riding Broners nuts. This guy is like a parasite. He gets access to interviews but man way to burn bridges.

Elie Sekbach of course is a character. Court jester. He works the perimeter of all these public events like a hype man for the Harlem Globetrotters. He loves the attention. He's been featured everywhere in the boxing world. Showtime. HBO... Forrest Gump himself. LOL at forrest gump

Elie asks some of the dumbest questions and kisses so much ass. When I see him on video I sometimes cringe at his questions/statements, so I can't even imagine what the fighter or whoever he's talking to at the time is thinking.

Youtube partners make lots of money from Google adsense on their ads. They actually make the majority of adsense income from publishers, quality bloggers and websites don't make as much. These youtube video people like those girls who do make up actually make anywhere from 300 thousand to a few million depending on how much traffic they get on their videos. i would guess Elie has to be in the six figures salary, but that's just a guess, I mean I know someone who had 2 million views on one video and he got paid like 50 thousand bucks from ad revenue. Sechback doesn't have that regular stream of videos with 1 million+ views though. If you check out the most popular videos on his channel, almost all of them that have more than 250k views are 3-5 years old. And almost all of those are basketball related. The channel does really well by the standards of an ordinary guy with a Youtube channel. But well enough to support him doing this all the time and flying around the country? I'm not so sure. Not when he hasn't had a video crack 1M views in years.

Yeah his channel does very well because of the ridiculous quantity of videos he uploads. He'll do a 10 minute 'interview' with two random guys and split it up into 6 different videos.."Boxing trainer thinks Broner is a superstar"..."Boxing expert says Mikey Garcia beats JuanMa" etc etc. How much revenue can that channel be generating though? Does the guy come from wealth or something because it's hard to imagine that channel supporting him doing this 24/7. Think of the cost of all the travelling he does alone.

You also have to remember that video keeps making money the more views you get the video could be up there for 3 years and than gather 50 million views, and you could make a couple hundred thousand or a million off that video alone depending how many people click the ads.

Do you have the link to the vid with the pinoy kid interviewing rios? That kid posted it on here, his name is Niko something.

You still got that video? Maybe Elie posted it on facebook or something? Elie and Rios beef is very strange, why would Rios cut ties with Elie but allow other interviewers to interview him in camp? Elie was always giving Rios tons of exposure, only thing I can think of is Elie really betrayed his trust and took advantage and posted something two face that ticked Rios off. But Elie will never answer why he can't interview Rios anymore also Elie never answered why he can't go to Wild card or Martinez gym, he never answers. Rios gets pissed when anyone brings up Esnews, some Filipino kid was interviewing him and he got mad at the kid for talking about Elie the kid didn't know Rios and elie were no longer cool. Do you have the link to the vid with the pinoy kid interviewing rios?

Robinson is a legit reporter journalist, he isn't some immature idiot like Sekbach trying to sell controversy and instigate crap and picking sides only to act like a two face and get kicked out. Elie really has no shame seriously, the guy is so lucky to have this type of access and he blows it with his immature howard stern, springer type instigation. Chris Robinson's good, he's a proper journalist. Always tries to ask the important questions.

Actually he gets alot of views. His total video views is 134,597,790 and he has over 40,000 subscribers. http://www.youtube.com/user/ESNEWS/videos?view=0 Yeah his channel does very well because of the ridiculous quantity of videos he uploads.

This is correct. There's also a video of Ellie interviewing Rios a while back and to paraphrase, Rios jokingly talks about it and says people can look it up. I want to see the video, anyone know where it is? So that is why Rios stopped drinking because of that fight? If Rios really stopped drinking that's impressive, its hard to give up smoking or alcohol for many people.

I dont believe that to be true because I started that thread with that video of Rios getting into a fight. That video wasn't even on Ellie Sechbach's youtube page. It was on some random guys that i searched up after watching a Sechbach video where Rios clearly says dont drink and fight and that it's on the web. This is correct.
