I suspect it's not that people don't get it, but rather that they disagree about the significance of it. If same fighter gets all eight of the 50-50 rounds, you can't complain about any of the rounds, but you can complain about the fight. It's like a roulette wheel that comes up red every time. There's no reason it shouldn't have on any given spin, but when it happens every time, there's a question in the whole that isn't necessarily just answered by the sum of the parts.
It would appear that sometime it is wrong but that is the way in scoring fights ( 10 pt must
ALL CLOSE or UNCLEAR ROUNDS most likely wont be split between the fighters but to the fighters work of his preference.
Example.
Johny vs Pedro
Round 1 : Johny Dominates Pedro
Round 2 : Johny Dominates Pedro
Round 3 : Johny Dominates Pedro
Round 4 : Johny Dominates Pedro
Round 5 : Johny Dominates Pedro
Round 6 : 50-50 Judges give round to pedro because of their preference ( Agression, Defense blah blah blah )
Round 7 : 50-50 Judges give round to pedro because of their preference
Round 8 : 50-50 Judges give round to pedro because of their preference
Round 9 : 50-50 Judges give round to pedro because of their preference
Round 10 : 50-50 Judges give round to pedro because of their preference
Round 11 : 50-50 Judges give round to pedro because of their preference
Round 12 : 50-50 Judges give round to pedro because of their preference
Pedro wins and Johny appears to be robbed in the eyes of the crowd. but the official winner is Pedro 115-113.
If a judge split the even rounds then question of consistency comes to play.
Does a judge gives the next even round to Fighter A because he gave the previous even round to figter B? That type of judging is more open to question IMO. Judges must be consistent.

What fight were you watching ? shaken up everytime Pacquiao landed ? please.
Marquez was the one shaking up Pacquiao with his punches.
Marquez is a counter puncher. If backing up/ fighting on the backfoot in a fight even after landing means you deserve to lose then Mayweather shouldn't be undefeated.
Being over aggressive against Pacquiao cost Marquez in previous fights so he was smart to back up after landing good combinations.
The majority feel Marquez landed the better punches and got the better of Pacquiao in the other scoring criterias like ring generalship, defence and effective aggression.
10 - 8, 10-7, etc is obviously better than a 10-9 round and it can be the difference between a fighter winning and losing especially when the fights are close.
In regards to their first two fights it had it's effects on the scorecards. Those fights were very close and I have no problem with those fights going either way.
I thought Pacquiao was the the winner of the first fight and Marquez was the winner of the second fight.
This third fight was a Marquez fight. He should of won. The majority of fans agree with me. A judge would have to be generous to Pacquiao to give him a win imo.
