McGregor, the reigning UFC lightweight champion, entered the boxing world in August to take on Floyd Mayweather Jr in a multi-million-pound bout.
Ireland?s first UFC belt holder entered the contest with no boxing experience to his name but more than held his own against the former five-weight world champion.
However, he was soon overcome by fatigue, which paved the way for Mayweather to register a tenth-round TKO victory.
Immediately after his unsuccessful boxing debut, McGregor refused to rule out the opportunity of returning to the ring.
And it seems that Pacquiao wants to be the man to be McGregor?s second opponent in the squared circle.
Pacquiao revealed his desire to face the UFC superstar in posts on his Twitter and Instagram pages, which featured a picture of McGregor relaxing on a chair.
The accompanying caption read: ?Happy Thanksgiving @TheNotoriousMMA Stay fit my friend. #realboxingmatch #2018.?
The likelihood of McGregor facing Pacquiao is very slim given the fact he hasn?t fought in the UFC in over a year and has yet to defend his lightweight title.
