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).
