While celebrities taking on other celebrities on social media is nothing new, this week saw a rather unusual matchup take place - Ex-CEO of Alibaba, Jack Ma, and undefeated former boxing champion, Floyd Mayweather.

Fellow boxing legend and longtime Mayweather rival, Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao uploaded a video where he's shown coaching China's famous billionaire, who's working hard on his strikes.

Stepping away from the workout, Pacquaio made his way to the camera and said: "Floyd Mayweather, if you want a real fight, fight me. If you want an exhibition, my guy, my friend, Jack Ma will take care of you."

While Mayweather has indeed stepped into the ring for exhibition matches since his retirement in 2017, expecting the legend with his perfect record of 50-0 to step into the ring and liquify Jack Ma is a bit unreasonable to expect. 

It's far more likely that this is a subtle dig from Pacquaio, who was beaten by Mayweather in 2015.

Both boxers have also had their fair share of drama in the past.

.@FloydMayweather You come to my fight and then use my name in a post but I'm the one that is trying to stay relevant? ð¤if you want to be relevant again... #MayPac2

For now, though, seems that both Ma and Pacquaio get along pretty well.

Will we be seeing a Manny vs. Mayweather fight anytime soon?
