McGregor captioned the post: “Legends unite! What a vision! Bravo The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and His Excellency.”
The Irishman has travelled over to Riyadh to watch heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury face ex-UFC star Francis Ngannou.
It comes six years after McGregor lost to Floyd Mayweather in the first crossover clash of the modern era.
McGregor was linked with another boxing bout against Pacquiao until talks broke down.
PacMan was later sued by Paradigm Management – who represent McGregor – following a breach in their contract.
The eight-division title holder was hit with an $8m (£6.6m) bill which McGregor brazenly claimed he was owed personally.
But in a voice note later deleted, McGregor said: “Where’s my $8 million from that court case, Manny Pacquiao?
“You owe me $8 million, Manny… Are you stupid, Manny?

“I’ll kick you in the head, in the neck, the inside leg, and take you off your feet and drag you by your ankle across the stage.”
Hitting back, Pacquiao told MMA Junkie: “Oh, he’s not active anymore.”
The Filipino icon retired in 2021 following defeat to Yordenis Ugas but he has teased a comeback while recently entering talks with Amir Khan.
Meanwhile, McGregor is preparing to return next year having been sidelined since July 2021 when he broke his leg.
