It's unbelievable that some of Pacquiao's fans are still going on about this foot thing.
Pac fans, go to the 1:00 minute mark of the following video and listen to what Pacquiao's friend Amir is saying.
Now go to this video of HBO's "Face Off" between Pac and JMM. Go to the 6:26 mark and listen to what Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has to say:
They're stepping on each other's feet because both fighters are trying to dominate the combat zone. For those asking why this didn't happen more often in their first two fights, it should be obvious from the Face Off video that both fighters are clearly aware of the importance of this position and are fighting for it. Pacquiao is a bit more technical now, remember?
Another thing that should be noted; it was a clean fight with both fighters touching gloves after punches strayed and accidental head clashes. On some of these occasions, Pacquiao would point things out to the ref by motioning, such as pointing to his waist when he thought punches might be low or to his head after the accidental clash of heads. He never pointed toward his feet.
Now read the following tweets by Freddie Roach:

sure part of game plan but its ok RT @iam_ninoy: saw vid clip JMM stepped on Pacquiao foot 6 times Is it legal, cheating or unsportsmanlike?

No very common when southpaws face right handers RT @LuckyLindy21: Marquez was consistently stepping on Mannys foot could that cause cramps?
Pacfans, stop with this "foot stepping" BS already. You're embarrassing yourselves.
