The UFC lightweight champion has yet to reveal the plans for his next fight after cashing in on a blockbuster boxing match against Floyd Mayweather this past August, and he may be convinced to return to the ring after receiving a friendly Instagram message from multiple-time world champion Manny Pacquiao on Thursday:
In the post, Pacquiao wishes McGregor a happy Thanksgiving before adding the hashtags #realboxingmatch and #2018 while make sure to tag the MMA superstar.
Pacquiao, 38, ended a brief retirement last year to embark on what appears to be one last run in his storied fighting career.
