The UFC star posted a cryptic tweet early Saturday (Manila time) that sparked rumors of a possible fight with the 41-year-old Filipino boxing icon.

"Tinatanggap ko," the tweet read.
Pacquiao joined the same management firm as McGregor back in February, which further increased the possibility of a clash between the two fighters.
Sean Gibbons, Pacquiao's right-hand mand and the go-to-guy at the Filipino icon's MP Promotions, also said earlier this year that nothing was out of the table for Pacquiao.
This included a fight with the UFC star.
McGregor previously fought in a boxing match with known Pacquiao rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. where he lost against the American boxer.
