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.
