The gladiators were definitely looked upon as great people, despite their humble beginnings, with some being prisoners of war, condemned criminals, slaves or volunteers seeking fame and wealth. Their status in Roman society was quite high. Despite their "outlaw" legal and social status, gladiators often enjoyed great social prestige. Young Roman boys liked to hang out at gladiator schools and even take lessons there (their parents hated it of course).
Gladiators were mostly slaves. There were some Roman citizens who volunteered to be gladiators and became infames, the lowest layer of Roman society.

In Roman society, gladiators had a paradoxal status. They were slaves and the scum of the earth, yet they were admired and worshipped at the same time. The more scarred a gladiator was, the more popular he was. As an example, vials of gladiator sweat were sold as an aphrodisiac.

Yes, Roman gladiators could join the army, but it was not common. Gladiators were often slaves or prisoners of war, and while they were trained in combat, their primary role was to entertain in the arena rather than serve in the military. However, some gladiators might have gained their freedom and chosen to enlist, especially if they sought a different life or were motivated by the promise of rewards and status in the army.
Roman gladiators were used as entertainment in the year 264 B.C. The gladiators were used to kill each other and kill lions for the Roman peoples entertainment.
Yes, the gladiators were paid after each appearance.
Allover the Roman Empire....
Gladiators were slaves. Some Roman citizens volunteered to be gladiators. They legally became slaves because this involved submission to a master and they also became infames. This was a form of social dishonour which put you at the lowest social status and deprived you of the rights of citizenship.
