So the rubbernecks do indeed leave after a while? Very good.
What about other household members, would they watch until they starve or pass out?
jolrei:
I've seen this in my game as well (perhaps not a fight going into the night, but a fight that lasted several sim hours anyway). It seems that sims with no established fight record or experience do take a bit longer to establish a win or fail. Never seen motive failure yet, although several fighters have had to take showers and eat afterwards.
Zazazu:
Yeah, neither had been in a fight before. The only two who have are the police officer and the burglar. The burglar kicks ass, unfortunately.

Only person in the house was Connor. His fiance didn't move in until the next morning. He was scared to death of the fight (pussy, I'm already poking him for other things), and ran back into the house to return to painting his grilled cheese every time I directed him outside. Only the pressing need to go to work could keep him outside for more than a minute.

That's hysterical, Zazazu - "welcome wagon" indeed! ;D
I had a 6 1/2 hour Downtownie throwdown at Crypt o' Night - happened right in the middle of the dance floor. Music played on, of course, as is appropriate. A couple of the weaker-constituted babies had to spend the first couple of hours of their excursion out on the front sidewalk. After a few hours most of the patrons grew bored and went about their evenings... then their midnights... and a bit of early mornings. I was ready to send my sim home about 3 hours into the fracas but was damned if I'd waste all that fight-scoring time without seeing a resolution. So, much espresso and hot tubbing on the back patio later, SimDuJour was on her way out to call a taxi when the loser of the original fight decided that 6 1/2 hours just wasn't quite enough of a smackdown for her and proceeded to insist on another 2-hour beating. No motive failures between the combatants.
Also had quite a long fracas during a burglary (first in a new 'hood after installing Fight Club). Untested cop vs. untried burglar equals extended fighteyfight.
Zazazu:
My burglar has a lot more body points than my police officer. I think he's at 10 and she's at 3 or 4. It's over really quickly with them. I may add them to the aging pool just to see if I can get a better set. Or wait until one of the future mayors takes crime under his/her wing...right now financials are being established and the next mayor (soon to be elected by the Randomizer from my 12 of the 3rd generation since no one rolled Politics) is focusing on education, then I had animal control planned. By the time the 5th generation is in control everything will have to be transitioned to a more urban set-up, so then crime control would make sense.
