I hate to be a Debbie Downer but most of these guys were slaves forced into combat so the Mob could be preoccupied with savage entertainment. Tragic.

You mean not everyone wanted to fight lions and tigers and bears? Oh my!

Many were and many were the children of gladiators. There was a lot of pride associated with what they did, at least those higher up.
