A famous incident occurred on July 11, 1996, during the [[Riddick Bowe vs. Andrew Golota]] fight at Madison Square Garden, in which a confrontation between Golota and Bowe's entourage after Golata's disqualification for delivering low blows to Bowe, resulting a chaotic and violent brawl between the boxers' respective entourages and fans. During the fight, HBO's commentary team had to evacuate their ringside position (with George Foreman helping to protect his fellow commentators after unsuccessfully attempting to put an end to the fighting; the commentators' table was destroyed in the brawl), resulting in several minutes of commentary-free coverage of the melee before Jim Lampley was able to resume coverage of the incident from several levels above. Larry Merchant and Foreman remained in the ring providing coverage as tempers continued to flare into punch-ups between spectators. The credits rolled over footage of NYPD officers entering MSG and beginning to make arrests.<ref>{{Cite web |title='Riot' follows Bowe's victory Golota's low blows stop bout; corners, crowd then join fray |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1996-07-12-1996194006-story.html |access-date=2023-02-08 |website=Baltimore Sun}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Andrew Golota vs Riddick Bowe 1996 The Riot Fight at MSG |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4LcsGSfADU |language=en |access-date=2023-02-08}}</ref>
