By the time of the emperors, the emperor was the only one who could afford to pay for a gladiatorial contest. So he had the role of paymaster. If he attended the bouts, he was usually awarded the position of editor, which was the top official of the games. The editor was the one who gave the "start" signal, determined a win, loss or pass, and warded the prizes.

Did ancient rome emperors pay for bloody fights to gain popularity when the colosseum was built?

Yes, the emperors paid for the gladiatorial combats in the Colosseum and also in other arenas. This was because the cost was so high that only the emperor could afford to pay for them. But please understand, the gladiator fights were not simply popularity ploys. By the time of the emperors they were given in celebration of something such as a military victory, or a major festival of thanksgiving to some god.

What country is the Roman colosseum located?

The ancient and crumbling Roman Colosseum still stands in modern Rome, Italy. It is remarkable that after 2,000 years it still can be seen as a magnificent arena. The Romans named the structure the Flavian Amphitheater because the emperors of the Flavian family had it built. Somehow the nickname of Colosseum has stuck to it.
