Despite all the judges calling the fight in his opponents favour Burns has taken to Twitter in the hope of earning another opportunity to fight Crolla.
Although the three-time world champion admitted he only deserved to come away with a draw.
"What a fight me and Anthony Crolla had, just watched it back," he posted. "On the night, I thought I'd done enough! But watching it back I scored it a draw.
"What an atmosphere in there and thanks for all the messages
"Let's get this rematch sorted."
While Burns is intent on a rematch with Crolla, the former WBA lightweight champion has his sights set on a third bout with Jorge Linares after losing to the Venezuelan in their two previous meetings.
"It is certainly a possibility," Crolla told talkSPORT. "We will look forward to what makes the most business sense.
"Obviously the aim is to become a world champion again and whichever fight gets me into a position to fight for a world title that is something I would do."
