Mayweather retired for a third and final time after defeating McGregor in August 2017 but his latest Instagram post suggests a comeback may be on the cards.
"I would love a rematch with Floyd Mayweather and I know the Manny one is there whenever I want it.
"I would be honored and love to be the first combatant to fight in that arena [the new Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas] and what a fight that would be against a small and powerful southpaw [Manny Pacquiao].UFC President Dana White has previously indicated McGregor's next fight should be a rematch of UFC 229, when he lost by submission in the fourth round to Khabib Nurmagomedov.
However, White admitted he was working with Mayweather, although he declined to provide precise details."We're doing something with Floyd. There's so much going on, but Floyd is in our plans and we are in Floyd's plans this year. We'll end up doing something."
