Did young and unknown Pacquiao approach Teddy Atlas before Roach?

I sort of recall a story that a flyweight named Manny Pacquiao went to Teddy Atlas's gym in the East Coast only to have Atlas slam the door on his face.

Then Pacquiao, feeling rejected, went to Los Angeles and wound up impressing Freddie Roach.

Is this story true?

Atlas said that he took a loaded gun to Donny Lalonde's house just before his fight with SRL for the Light heavyweight championship so he could kill Lalonde for firing him just before a potential 800k pay day.

If this story about Manny approaching Atlas before Roac is true it would explain why Atlas is constantly throwing shade on Pac. He is a bitter **** lets be real.

Who knows, but Atlas is dumb enough to not see potential in Manny and bitter/old enough to hate Manny for his own stupidity.
