If the colloseum fighters weren't present, Luffy would have fallen and passed out in the middle of the street. Doflamingo could have then just impaled him with a forest of Awakened strings.Remember that after Doffy regained consciousness he did not have the same mobility as he had before tanking LB. If the coliseum fodders were not present, Luffy would have been able to hide from Doffy. The only thing that was bugging Luffy mins was that he did not know what Doffy might do in the meantime. Doffy could have loured Luffy by threatening to kill innocent civilian, something that I doubt Doffy might have done considering his goal was to get to Luffy, in my opinion. I think Luffy might have been able to hide from Doffy alone.
I just finished 3 chapters after Luffy lost his G4 state.

The notion that Doflamingo would threaten to kill innocents in order to draw out Luffy being the reason Luffy asked the fighters to stall Doffy makes no sense. Why? Because the fighters going to stall Doffy is what gave Doffy innocents to attack and torture; that's exactly what happened. See above image.
