By Bryan Ke
The Philippine’s fighting senator and renowned boxer Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao met with Alibaba’s former CEO Jack Ma for the second time this year and FaceTimed with martial artist Jet Li.
The meet up happened on October 26 at a Chinese restaurant in Hangzhou, China where the 40-year-old Filipino boxer and his wife, Jinkee Pacquiao, had dinner with Ma, according to South China Morning Post.
The Pacquiaos were also presented with golden microphones by the 55-year-old entrepreneur.
“Thank you JACK MA for inviting us,” Jinkee Pacquiao wrote in an Instagram her post.
Later that night, Ma called up Jet Li using Apple’s FaceTime. Ma became good friends with Li after working together in the 20-minute long kung fu movie “Gong Shou Dao” back in 2017.
After the dinner, the eight-time division champion posted a sparring video featuring him and Ma. They also poked fun at Floyd Mayweather Jr. and challenged him to a boxing match, AsiaOne reported.
“Floyd Mayweather, if you want a real fight, fight me,” Pacquiao said. “If you want an exhibition, my guy, my friend, Jack Ma will take care of you.”
Ma also echoed the same sentiment in the video and said, “Yeah, I’m ready. Any time, any place.”
This is the second time Pacquiao has met with one of the world’s richest men. He had a meeting with Ma in January after winning his match against American boxer Adrien Brody in Las Vegas.
The Pacquiaos reportedly sat down for a drink with Ma at a harbourfront hotel before their flight back to Manila, Philippines.
