Philippines boxing icon Manny Pacquiao dined with pal, Jack Ma, the Alibaba co-founder on Saturday in Hangzhou where he was presented with golden microphones by the former executive chairman of the e-commerce giant. And his evening with China’s richest man got even better when he did some FaceTime with none other than martial arts superstar, Jet Li Lianjie.

Jinkee Pacquiao, wife of the eight-times division champion, posted pictures on Instagram from their latest meeting with Ma, having shared a glass of wine in Hong Kong in January.

Jinkee was grateful for having another opportunity to meet China’s leading entrepreneur, philanthropist and sometimes martial arts actor who they count as a good friend nowadays.

Ma is one of the world’s richest men – ranked 21st by Forbes – with a net worth of over US$38 billion and whose Alibaba Group owns the South China Morning Post.

“Thank you JACK MA for inviting us,” wrote Jinkee Pacquiao on her Instagram account which has 1.4 million followers.

Pacquiao was excited to talk to Jet Li through FaceTime, an app in which Apple users can make video and audio calls. This was made possible because Ma is a good friend of the Mulan star having worked together in the 20-minute kung fu movie Gong Shou Dao in 2017.
