Gladiators are from Ancient Rome.
Yes they did. Gladiators were owned and trained by sponsors ( similar to football teams today) and the different sponsors would match gladiators against each other. Often betting took place on the outcome of the battle. This was a big business owning gladiators and training them. A lot of prestige came with having the best "line up" of gladiators.
Beacause gladiators were slaves, they were slaves beacause they either commited a crime.
Gladiators were professional fighters who battled to entertain the public, politicians, and rulers of ancient Rome
Gladiators earned thier freedom by winning 30 battles or doing someting heroic such as risking thier own lifes for a fellow gladiator. Once they were set free they were given a wooden sword called Ridus and gave them access to everything an average roman citizen had access to.

Over 5000+ Gladiators won there freedom
Gladiators were paid a reward if they won.

Slaves were forced to become gladiators, and were released if they won enough
No, the Romans just about adored gladiators. Gladiators have been likened to the rock stars of the ancient world. Wealthy women threw themselves at them, and they were highly paid for their services when they won.
Venessa1270! She's won it every time!

Every time
Only if they chose to be, but this would be very unusual, since most gladiators were slaves and only paid if they won a battle and didn't die.
The task of gladiators was to fight at the gladiatorial games. Individual gladiators may not have been chosen for every single game. However, if not, they would fight in one of the subsequent games.
Of course they had friends. Gladiators were people and most people have a few friends. Gladiators were the celebrities of their time and many of them had followings, especially among the ladies.
