Why Bulk Minimums Fail Fight Gyms
- Roster volatility. Fighters come and go. Bulk-ordering 25 walk-out hoodies for a 6-fighter team leaves 19 in storage.
- Size guesswork. Fight roster includes weight classes from 115 lbs to 220+. Predicting size split for bulk is impossible.
- Camp-cycle variation. Each fight camp has different participants. Bulk-ordering for one camp does not serve the next camp.
- Cash flow. Small gym does not have $1,500 to drop upfront on a bulk apparel order.
How the No-Minimum Model Works
- Gym uploads the gym mark once.
- Gym lists each apparel piece in the shop with retail pricing.
- Fighter (or gym, or family) orders a piece through the shop.
- The piece prints to order and ships direct to the buyer.
- Gym keeps the margin on each piece; no inventory carrying cost.

When Bulk Still Makes Sense
- Single tournament travel: 40 identical team tees in one box shipped to the gym for distribution before the bus leaves. Bulk works.
- Major fight night promotion: 100 fan shirts handed out at the door. Bulk works.
- Walk-out hoodies, coach polos, camp tees, finisher tees: no minimum wins on every dimension.
