If your team is playing without energy, getting dominated, and generally in a rut that game, then if it works against you, it really doesn't matter. Your in more or less the same place you were before the fight. If you get the boost however, it could spark a comeback that may have been more improbable before the fight occurred. As such, if the other team is willing to fight you, why not. If it works to your benefit even 10% of the time in that situation, it's probably worth doing.
The flip side is why players are generally encouraged to not fight when leading by a small margin and the team is carrying the play. Your already dominating, there's not a lot to gain by fighting, and a lot to lose if it affects the other team positively and your team negatively.
