List of good ideas.
Acutally, by fleshing out some ideas of the OP as Taipion has done, a Gladiator style arena where spectators can place bets and watch matches via the CQ screen is sounding pretty good to me.
Dont just stop with ship loss. Include the possibility of POD loss, just like Gladiators and just like normal pvp when there is a ship loss.
There could even be News Items displayed on the CQ screen showing the current Top Solo Gladiator/Gladiator Team and a plaque you can hang in your CQ showing the Year you were top Gladiator. Hows that for vanity.

Duelists and arena fanbois are pussies.
This is Eve, mother****ers.
This made me lol.
I am a pvper. I take on multiple opponents at once. I diaf a lot. And I love every minute of it except for the 4 hours flying around low sec looking for a fight, ANY fight, even a lopsided fight where I am outnumbered 5 to 1 or more.
I like the idea of gladiator style fighting that I can place bets on as long as the ships always explode and there is a real possibility of pod loss.
The reason arenas in WoW are popular is because it is the only way to get the Best pvp gear in game. Why the hell would a person pvp in wow outside of arenas if you cant gain anything from it or loot a corpse.

Let me ask the other way around, why waste Dev resources
Cause I would enjoy it and feel that it is worth the time to consider it.
One could ask why waste Dev Resources with anything,because people want them in game.
I want this in the game, if the Devs like the idea then they can add it, if they don't they will not.
This.

Hmmm, breaking the sandbox = others cant interfere?
Sounds like the Alliance Tourney to me. Devs move the praticipants to a Jove system noone else has access to. The tourney is popular enough they stream it over the net and call it Eve TV.
From what I understand, people like it more than a little. I havnt heard any people complaining about the Alliance Tourney and how it sucks because the crowd cant jump into the middle of the fight.

It's just additional PVP for people who want to log in for a limited time, not the whole evening, and still have some halfway fair PVP experience.
Yup. Agreed. There are tons of people who complain all the time about how long it takes to find a fight, myself included. Not everyone has 5 hours to play a night in hopes that a fight may come.

Blah blah, carebears are risk averse and think this is a good idea.
Ships blow up, possible pod kill, people like the idea of risking ship and pod for vanity with betting pools on the outcome. Doesnt sound risk adverse to me if stuff still gets blown up.
I guess that means the alliance tourney is filled with risk adverse carebears according to your definition of risk adverse? And they get billion isk ships as prizes for the top spot.

So far what I am seeing is people opposed to the Arena style of combat based on one thing only. That thing being the fight is instanced or somehow not 'gankable' by outside players.
So lets get rid of the instance. The two players agree to the Arena match, they fight outside station or warp to a safespot in system, duke it out until one person is destroyed or warps out, leaving the winner in their ship.
If the match is scanned out and someone interferes ( neutral remote rep or suicide ganks 1 of the players ) the match is voided as far as rankings go.
This wouldnt break the sandbox because the fight would not be instanced. Would something like that make the people opposed to the idea of an Arena more likely to go for it?
I spent 8 hours on and off last night looking for a fight. I am getting more than a little tired of looking for a fight for hours on end. When I finally found one I suicided my BC. IE, the BC I was fighting had a buddy next door in a BC as well plus a command link to extend the warp disrupt range. I knew this and I went for it anyway for the lolz.
