Why Didn't pacquaio fight Mike alvarado instead

[The Problem]

Does Anyone know the reason as to why he ducked Mike Alverado?

[Biolink]

Alvarado skipped some meetings and pissed off Bob Arum. Rios has the bigger name compared to Alvarado anyways so after Mike pissed off Bob it wasn't a hard decision for him to pull the plug and insert Rios in his spot.

Alvarado would have been a walk In the park, just as Rios was.
