It's interesting that he says civilized, as his favorite sport is hunting human beings.  However, he is very proper in his dress and living conditions, which is something Rainsford notes upon arriving at Zaroff's home.  Also, Zaroff has a strange sense of fairness; while it's obviously not fair at all to force a person into playing a game where their life is as stake, especially against their will, Zaroff thinks that letting Rainsford have a single weapon and a head start is enough to consider the game "fair".  Civilized, it would seem, is an extremely relative term in this story.
