Probably not. The chariot races attracted both rich and poor consistently while the gladiator games mainly attracted the poor.The rich did attend the gladiatorial combats, especially when it was known that the emperor would be present, but many of the wealthy simply did not like them. The poor frequented the gladiatorial games because of the added attraction of gifts being thrown out to the crowd at the day's end. In addition, the seating capacity for the races (Circus Maximus) was loosely four times the capacity for an amphitheater (Colosseum) enforcing the idea that the races were more popular.
