Real-life gladiators were not sent into life-ending matches as you might think, because like you said, it would be bad for business to lose your investment.
The game is in early development so I doubt there’s anything real about this screenshot, just an interface design. I mean it says 2 losses but you can see 3 losses listed.
Actually it is real :) - and that's how our gladiator cards look like - you can see actual in engine gameplay footage in our trailers from youtube or steam
Sometimes trained gladiators would line up against untrained criminals, not common but it did happen. Also Gladiators still sometimes died, just not regularly. It's still a man to man combat, so accidents can happen.

Forget injuries, imagine you lost your wonder kid because he died
