Would you ever attend a modern day gladiator fight against animals and other gladiators?

Imagine if your nearest city constructed the largest modern colluseum in the world that would make the one in Rome look like a basketball court in comparison, and in it were strong tall hyper muscular men who are prisoners and criminals (built like the hulk almost) who are to gain their freedom if they are to enter the ring and kill 100 dangerous and strong animals a day for 100 days with one animal a day, and the animals range from rhinos, tigers, salt water crocodiles, huge aggressive chimpanzees, komodo dragons, grizzly bears, lions, hippos, and bulls, and he would have to fight then with bare hands. Then after 100 of these animals killed they would then fight against other prisoners with either bare hands or daggers and kill each other, one prisoner to fight a day for 100 days. The matches would be televised and livestreamed as well and the colloseum is tax payer paid so admittance is free and the food is subsidized and made by professional chef's all at a price of a turbo bargain. Would you ever attend such event?

In theory? Sounds kinda neat.

Actually? No. I wouldn't watch a dog race; I'm definitely not going to watch somebody beat wild animals to death.

Also, just just being practical here: 100 days is a long time to follow and keep interest in a single competitor, let alone 200 days if they make it to the second phase. Break it up into seasons, and maybe do a Death Race style system where they need to accumulate X number of wins over several seasons to get the grand prize.

In that case I would tell everyone just to stop paying taxes because that's a dumb thing to pay taxes towards.

[allogenis96]

Why is it dumb? It worked in ancient Rome.

[Kaneki05]

Yah cause guess who fought in them and who built them in the first place? Slaves.
Slaves also worked back in Rome very well, don't mean it ain't a thing people should want.
Which also is another thing Romans never paid taxes towards the coliseum it was funded by the Emperors as a gift which was mostly from plundered goods and slaves that contributed to why it was free for the people.

no, not interested.
