I think the reason commentators don't usually say anything about fights breaking out in the stands is because they are not allowed to by the network.
I think they can only comment it but not put too muvh emphasis on a fight. As 1 the network does not wan't to promote fighting/violence in that manner. (And yes I know boxing is a violent sport BUT it's 2 totally different things to be in a ring fighting with a Promotion, agreement, sanctioning bodys, doctors and all that then someone getting his head smashed in by a group of guys)

I think when it's something as major as the Golota fight that broke out in the arena then thats just inevitable and for the most part you can see that HBO tried not to record the actual violence as they would cut to Lampley at the top of the arena.....

If you check Video #4 that I posted on the Vasquez-Marquez thread you can see a fight breaks out between the people I didn't see the commentators even mention it either as I said I think it's the networks call not to say anything.....
