No. A person is not free to sell themselves into slavery. A person is not free to engage in consensual gladiator combat to the consensual death for that consensual million dollar prize.

I agree (with the latter, but not so much the former) - I'm not a Libertarian.

There is nothing in the Constitution that prevents gladiator fights - each state has laws against that. If one agrees to doing that, it's assumed that said one is mentally deranged, and not able to be involved in a contract.

It's still a state issue.
