Gladiatorial bouts had different sponsors at different times. Initially they were funeral duties or services given by the family of the deceased. From family sponsored memorial events they grew into politicians bids for attention and election and into parts of festivals. By the time they were parts of festivals, the gladiators were professional fighters from professional gladiatorial schools which were so expensive that only the emperor could afford to sponsor them.
