And after posting a video of him working the bag in the boxing gym, it led to speculation that he is in training a for a ring-return.

JJ Lawrence wrote on Twitter that "if the money was right, he'll fight anyone", while Lolo Mazuelos added that Mayweather versus Gennady Golovkin would be "the dream fight".

Others asked Mayweather "who's next", while a rematch against McGregor seemed to be the wish of many.

Mat Rasmussen posed the question that Mayweather will have the "rematch in the MMA", before asking "name one person who won't buy it".

"Tonight I chose the right partner to dance with. Conor McGregor is a great champion, and Ireland we love you.

"I told you the fight would be blood, sweat and tears and that's what I gave you.

"I think we gave the fans what they wanted to see.

"I owed them for the (Manny) Pacquiao fight. I had to come straight ahead and give the fans a show. That's what ​I​ gave them."
