Another wrote: "Can see Mayweather next... Can take the fighter outta the fight, but ya can't take the fight outta the fighter. Go champ."
Of course, McGregor fought Mayweather in August 2017. The lucrative Las Vegas clash remains his only professional boxing bout. He has since been linked with fights against Manny Pacquiao and Paulie Malignaggi.
Meanwhile, UFC president Dana White is adamant McGregor is done with fighting inside the Octagon.

When asked about contacting the Irishman, he replied: "No! Conor McGregor is retired.
"I don't chase guys that don't want to fight. I don't chase guys. We offer guys three fights a year. You get three fights a year, if you don't want to fight, I've got a roster full of people who want to fight."
McGregor only returned to the UFC in January after a 15-month hiatus. Will he stay retired?
