Gladiators would fight because they were paid to fight. In Rome and other major cities of the empire, professional gladiators would be matched. Even if they were slaves, they still retained the money they earned. In the outlaying districts, such as army camps, prisoners of war were sometimes forced to fight, but they too, were paid with the promise of freedom if they won.
