American boxer Mayweather beat Irish MMA star McGregor, 29, in the boxing ring in an 11-round stoppage in Las Vegas in August.

Ever since, speculation surrounding a rematch, either in the ring or in the octagon, has intensified.

Last month, Money uploaded a video to Twitter of him bounding into an octagon – wearing Paddy Power shorts, suggesting it could be another publicity stunt.

However, it caught the attention of Notorious, who replied on Twitter, saying: “Hahahaha very good. Keep up the good work my son. Yours sincerely, Senior.”

Mayweather has already created a new hashtag just for McGregor, as he continues his social media beef with the UFC lightweight champion.

The undefeated boxer – now boasting a 50-0 career record – posted an image of him stopping the Irishman in their mega-fight last year, captioned: “#MCM Mayweather Crushes McGregor.”
