Sending someone to the arena... means that unit has to be equipped to win
otherwise you're just marching a unit to his death.
No matter how well a unit has been equipped an opponent may have a unit or pretender which is more powerful and wins. (especially during MP)
Thus the amount of equipment spent on sending a unit into the arena is usually not worth the value of the prize.
(prize= trident and experience)
The arena event would be LOTS more tempting and interesting if the prize included gold and/or gems and/or something else. Hopefully the next patch will make the arena event more worthwhile to attend.

Whether or not you send someone to the arena any player is able to watch the battles and view the stats of pretenders and other units in the arena. Hopefully the patch will make the arena event more worthwhile to attend.
