For very good reasons, other than my man STICK AND MOVE mentioned Elie always asks rediculisly scripted questions with predictable answers. Its normal for boxing media to be biased but at least ask some interesting questions. He sounds more like a groupie who knows very little of boxing.
This guy knows how to do boxing interviews.

I think he's a terrible journalist. He's disrespectful to the fighters, trainers and others associated with the sport, he is incredibly rude and ignorant at times, and to top it all off, he has very little knowledge of the sport. I'm not going to lie and say he doesn't provide a good service, because he does get some good interviews, but that the only thing he does is turn up to these places with a microphone and a camera. The rest is provided by whoever he is interviewing. He's not funny, he's not charming, he's not intelligent...he has nothing apart from enthusiasm.
Some of the stuff he comes out with is ludicrous. How many times has he said something stupid like "how do you think you'd do against elite fighters like Pacquiao, Cotto, Mayweather and Salita?". He has a weird obsession with Salita and seems to think he's an elite level fighter when he clearly isn't. He's a very ignorant person when it comes to boxing, but I bet he's ignorant in general life too. He seems to have his head in the clouds and is unaware that people are taking the piss out of him half the time.
Compare him to the guys at iFilm London (iFl TV). They have the same enthusiasm and laid back attitude, but they also have respect towards the guys they are interviewing. They do their research and ask appropriate questions, whilst not turning their shows into boring, repetitive nonsense. iFilm get that balance right, I think, and they produced informative and fun videos.
Every video of Seckbach's are embarrassing to watch. I know the guys he's interviewing are thinking "...is this guy serious?", but to be fair to them, at least they go along with it and make the shows watch-able.
Elie sechback go from one camp to another like a cheerleader. He use to be in Manny pacquiao camp but he left because of a conflict. Now he is best friends with Robert garcia & Ariza. He also shout TMT when he see Floyd mayweather. The guy is a follower and he's biased.
BTW: I don't hate him because I have better things to do. However, that is why the fans don't like him.
I don't know about really hating him...
I'll hate ON him though, b/c I find him extremely annoying and bias, not to mention the fact that he literally doesn't know jack sh*t about boxing.
So basically he has none of the qualities that a boxing reporter (or reporter) should have, and therefore his credibility is a big fat zero.
I stopped watching his videos a long time ago, for all the reasons I mentioned.
Lol Elie with that poker face annoys me a lot too. You know where he'll begin and you know the last word that will come out his mouth. Really predictable. But that what's working for him and he's made a name out of those ridiculous interviews.
By some fans you mean Pacquiao fans. It seems since he was with Rios camp for the Rios/ Pacquiao fight and with them during the Ariza/ Reach conflict in China, HW is no good. Before that, no one talked him.
I never watched his vids till recently and the only thing I find annoying by him is he's always with Robert Garcia and his fighters.
