Of course you were kidding, but sadly, some people aren't when they say the same thing, and some companies are all too happy to take the money of suckers who will buy anything. There are actually places where you can buy these, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Size aside, feeding these things is a royal pain. The Cownosed ray is pretty easy to keep in comparison, since it's not a filter feeder, but the mantas and eagle rays are dedicated planktivores which are pretty difficult to keep alive for more than a week. Those poor guys at the National Aquarium in Baltimore have a never-ending job feeding all those rays in their collection.
