The Filipino shared a picture of his new jacket featuring the two boxers on the lining and left the rest to his followers' imagination.

The pair fought the most lucrative fight in the history of boxing last year, as pay-per-view revenue reached a record £330million.

However the bout itself was a damp squib, with Mayweather adopting his typical defensive strategy and Pacquiao struggling to land blows on his opponent.

Mayweather won the dull fight on a unanimous decision, with critics labelling it 'Better Never Than Late'.

And he was present at ringside as Pacquiao came out of retirement to defeat Jesse Vargas and reclaim his WBO welterweight championship belt.

Speaking after that fight, promoter Bob Arum said he expected there to be a rematch between the two boxers.

He told ESPN: "Like everyone else, I'm guessing there will be a rematch. He did come to the fight.

"I give it 75 per cent. Do I know it's gonna happen? No. Do I know if Floyd wants the fight? No.
