Lets be real, people enjoy the show.
Gladiator fights would be popular even today, especially if to the death was part of it.
Public executions for crimes in Europe eventually turned into entertainment for the masses.
Public lynching was popular in the USA. Don’t get me started on fairs and carnivals.
No "eventually" about it. It was spectacle and entertainment from the start.
Yeah if its bloody its fun.
MMA is a good example.
MMA WITH SWORDS! THATS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS!
AND LETS THROW SOME LIONS IN THERE!
Nah animal fights are bad, replace them with death robots.
Robot Wars/Battlebots robots, people fighting rc cars that are trying to flip them over with hydraulic paddles
WITH BLACKJACK! AND HOOKERS! In fact, forget about the MMA and the lions!
Something like this?

Gladiators rarely fought to the death... among themselves. They were glad to make a show of publicly executing some untrained prisoners, though.
