Jordan and apl.de.ap, whose ream name is Allan Pineda Lindo, paid a visit to Pacquiao in the hopes of supporting the eight-division world boxing champion ahead of his mega-bout with unified WBC and IBF champion Errol Spence Jr. on Aug. 21 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

No less than Pacquiao himself posted a photo on his official social media channels, keeping it short but sweet with the caption, "Filipino pride!" accompanied with boxing glove, basketball, microphone, and Philippine flag emojis.

Both Jordan and apl.de.ap, obviously, are rooting for the fighting senator.

"Pacquiao, c'mon baby!" the Utah Jazz star answered when swarmed by fans and boxing reporters walking out of Wild Card.
