    Lets be real, people enjoy the show.

    Gladiator fights would be popular even today, especially if to the death was part of it.

      Public executions for crimes in Europe eventually turned into entertainment for the masses.

        Public lynching was popular in the USA. Don’t get me started on fairs and carnivals.

        No “eventually” about it. It was spectacle and entertainment from the start.

      Gladiators rarely fought to the death… among themselves. They were glad to make a show of publicly executing some untrained prisoners, though.
