He seems like a cool guy. Here I'll help him out and save him the trouble.

From the old school Teddy Atlas. He used to train Mike Tyson back in the days.

Teddy Atlas: Pacquiao's camp asked Mayweather if positive drug test could be kept 'secret'

To no surprise, the strained negotiations between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were a hot topic on ESPN's "Friday Night Fights" this week.

The issue keeping the proposed March 13 fight from being finalized is Mayweather's demand for Olympic-style random blood testing. Pacquiao has refused. The two sides appear to be just 10 days apart when it came to determining a cutoff date for testing, but an agreement still could not be reached.

ESPN analyst and trainer Teddy Atlas added some fuel to the speculation that Pacquiao is using performance-enhacing drugs by citing a source familiar with the negotiations who had viewed e-mails sent from Pacquiao's representatives to Mayweather's team.

"From sources that told me, they said that people in the Pacquiao camp sent a couple of e-mails to the Mayweather camp a few weeks ago, about 2-3 weeks ago," Atlas said. "And the first e-mail was 'What would the penalty be if our guy tested positive?' and the second e-mail was 'If he did test positive, could we keep this a secret for the benefit of boxing?'

"Now, if that's true, again, that doesn't prove anything definitively, but you have to wonder why those questions were being asked."

Atlas isn't the first person to bring up the e-mails. New York Daily News columnist Tim Smith detailed that exact scenario in a column Dec. 25.

Atlas remained adamant he wasn't accusing Pacquiao of anything, but didn't think the public would understand why the Filipino star would walk away from a fight against Mayweather over random drug testing.

"You go to the man on the street, you go to the blue-collar worker that takes care of his family and is willing to put out the money for a pay-per-view and see a good fight," Atlas said.

"If you ask those people, they're going to say one thing: 'Why would you walk away from $30 million on the table just not to take some blood, just not to take a test. If you're clean, what do you have to hide?' ... the regular man, the common man -- and he has a right to think that and say that."

The video also includes an interview with Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, by ESPN's Brian Kenny.
