A gladiator didn't have the authority to "ask". He would simply pause when he had subdued his opponent, look at the audience and the Emperor and receive a thumbs up or a thumbs down. "Thumbs up" his opponent lives. "Thumbs down" his opponent dies.

What are the rules of the gladiator games?
The rules of the gladiatorial contests varied. There was a senior referee, the summa rudis, and an assistant who had staffs (rudes) which were used to caution or separate opponents. These interventions were aimed at ensuring fair play. The referee could also pause the fight to for a rest. A winning gladiator who overwhelmed his opponent raised his index finger to ask what he was meant to do next (whether to spare or kill the gladiator who lost). A gladiator could acknowledge defeat by raising his index finger which signalled the summa rudis to stop the combat. He then cast aside his weapons, kneeled and raised his hand to ask for mercy. The referee would then refer this to the editor who was the producer of the fights. The editor made the final decision about the fate of gladiator. His decision usually rested on the wish of the spectators. A wounded gladiator laid down his shield and raised his left hand as a plea for mercy. When a gladiator went down the crowd often shouted Habet, Hoc habet! (He's had it!), and shouts of Mitte! (Let him go!) or Iugula! (Kill him!). An editor could decide whether or not the fights were going to be ad digitum (lasting to the "the finger") which meant that they stopped when the defeated gladiator raised his finger. In the latter case, the fight lasted until the spectators asked for the dismissal of the fighters. The editor then decided whether to accept this or let the fight continue to "the finger." The editor could also choose a game sine remissione (without dismissal). These were fights to the death. In some cases both gladiators were dismissed or released from the arena stantes missi (released standing).
Did gladiators win their freedom by defeating their oppenent?
Gladiators won prize money. They could also win their freedom after fulfilling certain obligations. If they performed in five bouts they were freed from their gladiatorial oaths and given freedom. If they performed exceptionally well in even a single bout, they could also be given their freedom on the spot.
What rights did gladiators have?
Yes, they had certain rights. After five successful fights a gladiator had the right to be freed. This not only applied to slaves, but to those who were free men who swore an oath to their trainer/owner. They were also paid after every fight and were allowed to keep their money. After five years a free man could retire and go on to teach or become an instructor in the army which welcomed ex-gladiators as trainers.
