Yes but if the presenters didn't mention it, I could not detect boos from the video alone.

I have noticed this often when someone gets booed. Pretty obvious when you are there but not on video. As an audio nerd it has me perplexed.
I also think they were ready for that and they masked it live. It doesn't make any sense for the presenters to mention the booing if you can't even hear it in the recording. It must have been very loud.
I don't know how one would mask it Maybe the crowd is totally overdubbed. I cannot find phone recordings. Are all phone uploads of the event being rejected by YouTube?
It's not hard to mask them, just lower the microphones from the audience or play something else instead
We can hear the audience, or an audience.
They may have superimposed another (receptive) audience over the top. In fact just superimposing the audience from a minute before would have drowned out the boos. It would have been possible live too (and it would have sounded natural since it is the same crowd and same acoustics).
It's all about mic placement. Ive had the good fortune to play sports on live tv in front of large crowds a good amount and it's not uncommon at all for the crowd sound on the broadcast to be way different than in person. That being said, I'd bet there's a different broadcast from a different country where you can totally hear the boos.
If only there hadn’t been almost 300 years of testimony and evidence of the horror…
If you’re alive now, you won’t be for much longer
