People didnt want to be gladiators, they were forced to. People became gladiators either by being slaves, prisoners of war or captured citizens as such, or criminals. It probably would have been allowed for people to volunteer to become gladiators (and would have provided a more interesting spectacle for the audience) but it wouldn't have been likely due to the very high risk of bodily injury or death involved.
Gladiators were almost looked upon like rock stars in their time. They often took part in lavish celebrations and have women fawning over them if they had gotten popular enough.
Most gladiators did not have a choice in the matter and were slaves or criminals forced to fight in the coliseum. The few who did choose to be gladiators did so for fame and money just as MMA fighters do so today.
people became Gladiators from either being slaves or volunteering.
Slaves were forced to become gladiators, and were released if they won enough

The people who gave up their freedom to become gladiators were Roman citizens, not freedmen. It is thought that they might have been poor people who were after being housed and fed in the gladiatorial schools, the earnings (successful gladiators received prize money and donations from rich people) and fame (successful gladiators were revered).
Of course they had friends. Gladiators were people and most people have a few friends. Gladiators were the celebrities of their time and many of them had followings, especially among the ladies.
