I have been away from myLot for quite a few weeks. I have seen the Pacquiao-Marquez fight and the decision was not that good for me. Although I am a Filipino and would have wanted Pacquiao to win, I wasn't impressed with his performance. If some other boxer that is not Pacquiao came into the ring and did exactly the same to Marquez, he would not have won. It makes me wonder if boxing is a fair sport or is it all just about the money.

Not exactly. MMA has more blood than boxing.

I love watching boxing, live in person and live on tv. I love seeing recorded fights too. I think lately, boxing has been and is predominantly a money-spinning sport. The organisers/promoters reap out as do the fighters themselves and the managers/handlers as well as the media.

Yes it actually is. They pit fighters that could let them earn more instead of giving a shot to better fighters.

I really don't know. It is very difficult to judge a boxing match. I hope that there is a mathematical way of doing this. Like basing your score on the stats.
