OP does have a point, but personally I think it's this (below) as opposed to the part about external influences in that both fighters were worthy imho:
So Donaire gets the BWAA and Marquez gets ring, i think it is more than fair. You can make the case for both winning.

Donaire and Marquez are the two fighters who deserve to be in the running.
Either one winning is fine by me.

which is more credible between the 2...

1- To say that Top Rank has no affiliation with the BWAA is bogus. When the BWAA has hosted events in Vegas they have special deals to events in conjunction with Top Rank. Ask the admin of this website or anyone who knows the history, why would i lie about this, i don't make a nickel from GBP or TR.
2-Who was the last GBP fighter to win FOTY by BWAA?
3-The famous Hauser article that called out DLH, didn't that get first place in the investigative section? Fine. But name one Bloody award given on a major piece criticizing Bob Arum or TR? BTW, they gave Hauser another award about how HBO lost Pac. WHo really cares? HBO didn't want to defraud their audience by having a pass prime Mosley featured on a PPV event. God bless Ross Greenburg for not wanting the fight, BTW, he got fired not to far down the road,hmmmmmmm do you think TR had anything to do with that?
BTW, in sports illustrated Bob Arum himself said that a Pac-Mosley fight made no sense. Do you want a direct quote? Okay here it is:
"Mosley was huffing and puffing for air in the fourth or fifth round when he fought Mora."To me, that is the real tipoff for an aging fighter. Even Big George Foreman did that in his 40’s, but he always had that big, big punch like in the (Michael) Moorer fight. What I've read is not very supportive to make any Mosley-Pacquiao bout. Look, he's going to be 40 and he's in the lighter weights where speed is so important. He's on a show with guys -- example, 20-year-old Saul Canelo Alvarez -- old enough to be his son.” "I guess Shane needs the money due to his matrimonial situation (a divorce under harsh California community property rules)," Arum said. "I've always considered Shane to be a nice guy but this is what happens to fighters when they age." - Sports Illustrated 9/20/2010
4-So i guess all these organizations like the news media that are owned by corporations are totally free from any external influences?

It's similar to the IBHOF and the WBHOF.
If you're inducted into the WBHOF you are considered a HOF'er, despite the IBHOF being considered "more credible".
Just as winning the Ring FOTY you are considered to have won the FOTY as an accomplishment or accolade.
