How did the custom of Roman gladiators begin?

 

It is said that ancient Roman gladiators began their custom of fighting to their end- as a source of entertainment during.. funerals for important Roman people.
The event started out from slaves fighting each other for entertainment- to trained fighters in arenas fighting for entertainment and fame.
Gladiators were also treated as celebrities or boxers, if you were to look at it from a modern perspective.
