Yes Freddie is going to train him.

Why would that cause issues?

Golden Boy Productions is run by (shockingly) "The Golden Boy" Oscar de la Hoya. Freddie coached Oscar for the Mayweather fight. After he lost, Oscar threw Freddie under the bus, claiming that the loss was all his fault. Freddie then went public & said he knew why Oscar had lost. Then the Manny/Oscar fight rolls around, Manny hires Freddie & Freddie trains Manny to run rings around Oscar.

So, Oscar & Freddie aren't exactly best of buddies.

Yeah. I mean, I think that Oscar's enough of a business man to not forbid Freddie from training, but it's not like they'll be skipping down the hallways & having picnics together.

Dana on the other hand

AA should really try track and field or a sport that doesn't result in him getting hit. Maybe boxing will be better to him than MMA was cause he blows imo

It has been my opinion that AA is more suited to boxing than MMA. Andrei has good hands, footwork and with only worrying about the standup game minus the leg kicks, elbows, clinches and takedown attempts, he can really show off his speed and power.

Freddie Roach is a pretty good evaluator of talent and trainer. If he thinks AA has a future in boxing, then I would submit that is probably correct.
