    Elie was Covering and annoying the *** 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 agree, he may not hustle the way Elie does but he asks the much better questions, he doesn't instigate too.

      Yeah, they seemed so close too like really cool, Rios would get pissed at him but it seemed all in fun. They did the best videos because Elie had more material with Rios, because it was more entertaining than the usual do you like pacquiao question he keeps asking.

      The only thing good was the robert garcia reality show, but now it sucks because Rios is no longer in it and it was fun hearing Rios talk smack to elie.

        Robinson doesn't even get paid half the money Elie does, it shows you how sad it is, Robinson should be getting paid more than a guy like Elie, yet Elie has had jobs on NBC sports, NBC online, AOL Fanhouse and other news networks. The guy must have some serious connections to get these type of jobs without good journalistic skills.

            I hate how he tries to get people to gang up on Dan Rafael too, he's such a crybaby. Dan Rafael is a great boxing writer, how does his weight have anything to do with that? Is that any worse than Elie looking like a rat or the fact that he's annoying?

              Not sure he got into it cause he loved it. Perhaps he grew to love it. Didn't he used to report on the Lakers and NBA related topics, then he did some videos supporting his fellow friend boxer Dimitry Salita. Came to the Wild Card and told Amir Khan he was going to lose. Till this day, he's annoying and so many things about his "reporting" are wrong, but because he was the only one shoving a camera into any boxer's face, he found an outlet where he wasn't overshadowed by the better, more professional reporters in the NBA.

              I think its awesome he gives the fans a look into the gyms of top tier boxers and such but I don't know about anybody else but when training the last thing I would want is some guy shoving a camera in my face and asking a load of silly questions. Once a week or so, fair enough but not everyday! He used to follow Rios around like a lost puppy, the guy couldn't even take a **** in peace without Elie following him to the bog and asking ****** questions. ''Hey Brandon how many sheets of ar5e wiping material you used? Do you have a message for your fans?''
              Agreed.

                BS. Elie trying to pretend like nothing wrong again.

                Elie has no life man, he just loiters around boxing gyms all day.

                If that were true how come during the post fights or off camp Rios never is in Elie's videos? We aren't ******.

                    Have no clue, but something did happen because Rios never talks to him at all anymore. Fans want to know wtf happened because Rios was the only good part of the Robert Garcia reality show.

                    Rios and Elie were cool, and it's just weird how they no longer talk or do videos.

                      Yeah, there is definitely something big missing from the Robert Garcia reality show. And something big missing every time Seckback goes to Garcias gym. It was very disappointing not being able to see Rios during the time he was training for Alverado. I think its Rios who doesn't want to see Ellie no more. The exposure he got from Ellie's video's is what really made him known in the boxing world and I think he is just hurting himself by staying away from Ellie, if that is in fact what's going on. You can never get enough exposure.
