they fought until one of them was down/killed, then the emperor would decide if the winner was going to live or be killed. hope this helps. he usually decided based on how the crowded responded to the fight i.e. if the crowd cheered he let the guy live if they booed then he had the guy killed.
While that is correct, it should be noted that not all gladiatorial fights resulted in a winner and a loser, sometimes it was just a case of nobody winning. In that instance the emperor, or editor if the emperor was absent could reprieve both fighters.

∙ 12y agoA gladiator exhibition would perhaps be held once a year. The average was somewhere around three years and its not beyond a possibility that some gladiators went their entire five years of servitude without ever fighting, just as some Roman soldiers spent their entire 20 years in the army without ever being in a battle. Contrary to popular belief, gladiatorial combats were not every day occurrences, or weekly occurrences for that matter. Due to the expense involved, gladiatorial bouts were reserved for major public celebrations and memorials.
