The gladiators performed because the Romans adored the gladiatorial games. Most gladiators were slaves who lived and trained at the gladiatorial schools. They had to perform.
Why
The gladiators lived and trained at the gladiatorial schools. They fought at the amphitheatre, the arena for the gladiatorial games.
The amphitheatres were build in a round or oval shape because they were arenas. The gladiatorial games were held there.
The Gladiatorial games and Gladiator history ended during the reign of the Emperor Honorius.

Why
In the ancient world, particularly in Rome, gladiatorial games began as an extension of the keen interest on the part of ancient peoples (again, principally Romans) in violent entertainment. Arranging to have gladiators fight publicly was also a way to demonstrate the power of the fight-organizers. Eventually, however, the gladiatorial games became a vital form of pacification: social unrest was avoided by giving citizens gladiatorial games as a distraction from their troubles.
I'm sorry but animals are extinct
From what I've read, in the Roman Colosseum alone about 500,000 humans were killed, and 1,000,000 animals lives were taken. In the overall gladiatorial games I'm not sure how many people were killed, but I'm sure no matter what we wouldn't be pleased with the answer. Hope I helped :)
the olympics!?!?!?!

The spectators at the Colosseum reacted like the spectators of today. They yelled, applauded, cheered and booed.
