    Do you check for new vids regularly or every now and again or do you not watch them at all?

    Did you know Elie's nickname is "Big-Time" (check his youtube page)?

    Occasionally, they tend to crop up a lot on Boxing sites in my experience, he's a nice guy, nice to the point of being a bit naive, dim, asks some stupid questions, good guy overall though, I like him.

    I appreciate the fact that he provides coverage of ongoing training camps and things that aren't always discussed or highlighted in the mainstream boxing media. That said, I agree with a previous poster that he often comes across as a bit naive and he has a tendency to ask superficial questions.

    He pops up a lot I watch them when people post links to it sometimes, I dont get the hate that much just tought they could have had a better guy doing the interviews.

    Alot of them videos are repetitive, with the interviewees not saying anything worth of note. He asks stupid questions all too often. I only watch his channel because he's gifted with the opportunity others aren't. How a dumb reporter like him has access to all these sportstars, I do not know. He must have good connections or something. I'd enjoy the videos more if it was a good person conducting the interviews.

    This. That guy gives us interviews that we might not see from the MSM. So he gives us something unique that is why I watch his videos if ever I see them here in ESB.

    Yea, I do. I'm a fan of his work.

    Everyone says he's annoying, but what reporter isn't somewhat annoying?

    i watch most of them just for the reason that he is in the gym and talking to the boxers in their element. boxing doesnt get enough coverage for us fans as it is so i could care less who is doing the interview, just wanna hear what the fighters have to say and get that inside view.
     
  15. Hes a good guy . I get the feeling that hes a big Pacquiao & Khan fan , most likely becasue hes welcome at the wildcard and there all quite chumy around that way , whereas he probably isnt even given acsess to see the likes of Floyd training
