I've been thinking, and how much do you think it really costs Warrior, Brine, Stx, etc. To make a pair of gloves? Like, to get a pair of MacDaddies or G-forces mass-produced, put into a bag/box, and given to the supplier to ship to a lax store? I would like to see what some of you think about this.

Not close. The cost of the product is mostly profit of the seller and advertising, as well as the manufacturer's cost of research and development (R&D).
Ever wonder why i2s are just as good as Gladiators but cost 60 bucks less? They're not STX's "best" glove.

they make in ok amount at the end off it cuz if u think about it like lottalax said advertising and R&D and then u gotta pay the workers, matierial and all that so thats when u get profit after u pay for all tht and then some of that profit goes to devlop a new glove or something of that sort

I think though that all in all let's say Stx gets a pair of g-forces made and sent to them so they can ship it to a retail store to turn around and sell for $135. I think it costed Stx to make the 1 pair through mass production about $8 give or take. Correct me if I'm wrong. Good point about the R&D though.
