There won't be a lot of heat for the upcoming pre-fight promotion to the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley trilogy. The fight is scheduled to take place on April 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, has already started the theatrics by criticizing Atlas' motivational corner antics and also stated that he's not very impressed with Atlas' body of work in past fights.

Bradley hired Atlas last September after parting ways with career-trainer Joel Diaz.

Fans are not overly enthusiastic about the fight. Bradley won a controversial twelve round split decision over Pacquiao in 2012, and the Filipino star won a twelve round unanimous decision in the 2014 rematch.

Atlas' first bout with Bradley came last November when the boxer knocked out Brandon Rios at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Bradley is not much of a trash talker and neither is Pacquiao, so fans were anticipated a war or words between their very talkative trainers. Atlas refuses to engage Roach in any back and forth battle of punch lines. If Roach continues to throw verbal jabs, Atlas will ignore him.

"If that's what people are looking to see [me and Roach argue], they'll see shadowboxing. They'll see Freddie by himself. I have no interest in that. This is about Timmy and about winning the fight. That's all it's about for me. It's about Timmy, not about me and Freddie," Atlas told ABC News.
