Wow, I'm surprised none of you millionaire playboy street fighters would get in on that shit!

To answer OP's question:
1.) Yeah I'd watch it once or twice probably.
2.) See above answer.
3.) Um no.

We used to do something like it as teens:

tennis ball to baseball in a tubesock.

wet newspapers with sandspurs rolled into them.

Wood sword/club

cardboard armor allowed only.
 
Not sure if I would watch, but maybe participate. I have this mad rage in me and a sense of blood lust where sometimes I just want to rip a heart out. So perhaps I could fight mano-a-mano with a guy that is my weight. I'm 340 and six feet tall with reach and NUTS! 😀

My cousin is a UFC fighter so it must run in the genes.
 
OP needs therapy.

Nope.
1) Would you watch this type of fighting?
No, but, I would read the news about it and see how this is being treated and viewed. I would be curious to see how the fans act/behave. See who is it that made it past a full season. Who the big winner is. But, I would not be able to watch one human kill another,.. especially if there is begging and crying.

2) Would you pay to watch gladiator fighting? Be it live at the arena or via pay per view
I would not contribute a single dime to this. I would not even visit bars/restaurants that have it on their TVs.

3) Would you participate in this type of fighting?
I honestly don't think so. Even if I was in prison or diagnosed with a terminal disease.

Were you one of those SCA role players that fight at conventions?
