This is a rule that should definitely be changed. There is no reason for dozens of people to be storming a ring when a fight ends.

The cornermen, the promoter, 1 or 2 family members.. I don't have a problem with them.

But there's no reason for the ring to be overflowing with people as soon as the fight ends. I've seen too many situations where a fighter gets knocked out, and the ring doctor has a hard time even looking at the hurt fighter, because there's a swarm of hangers-on who are flooding the ring and stumbling all over the place.
