Manny Pacquiao dropped a potential hint early Monday morning, that for better or worse - a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. was possibly in the works for 2017.

The Filipino superstar took to social media, asking fans if they "liked his jacket" which displays hidden photos of him and Mayweather.

Mayweather recently accepted an invite to watch Pacquiao's WBO title fight two weeks ago, leaving many wondering if a request to step back in the ring would be next. Mayweather had a front row seat at the Thomas & Mack Center and saw Pacquiao easily beat Jessie Vargas with a unanimous decision.

Pacquiao said two weeks ago that he is eager to avenge his 2015 loss to Mayweather and he doesn't feel the contract negotiations would be nearly as acrimonious as they were for the first fight, which became the richest in boxing history.

"Not only for myself, but the fans of boxing want the rematch then why not?" Pacquiao said. "We can easily talk about that it is not a problem. Because we now have direct contact to them it would be easier to talk about when there will be a rematch. I met with his manager I told him I would invite Floyd [to my fight] and they said OK."

There are no talks scheduled between the two and Pacquiao has no idea whether he can entice Mayweather to come out of retirement in 2017.

"We don't have any discussions as for now," said Pacquiao.

Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, feels there is a 75% chance - in his opinion - that a rematch will happen next year.

Even when he has something to say, Pacquiao will never put all his cards on the table. Against Vargas he fought like a boxer who didn't want to spoil a good thing as his comeback from a brief retirement could have easily been derailed by a carelessly getting caught by a punch from the bigger and heavier Vargas.

But Mayweather's appearance at ringside Saturday has stirred talk of a Pacquiao-Mayweather 2.

"I believe if there is a rematch, or if it happens, I want to make sure the fans will love it and I will give everything to get back their trust," said Pacquiao.
