Throwdown going bankrupt=cheap gear?

So I heard Throwdown is going bankrupt pretty soon, so when can we expect dirt cheap gear from them?

I saw those rumors start flying because some websites were selling Throwdown stuff dirt cheap (i.e. clearance).

I haven't heard anything solid, and only speculation.

Some people don't realize though that companies clear out TONS of merch to make space for upcoming seasons, and that that process includes selling stuff on clearance.

I bought several Throwdown shirts that normally sell for $29.99 for $12 with free shipping from emoda. I also bought a pair of Rampage edition gloves for dirt cheap.

I think the rumors are flying for 2 reasons. 1. Multiple websites are clearing out Throwdown stuff, 2. Someone posted on these boards that they saw the sign being removed from the Throwdown building.

I don't care if they are going out of business or not. I like their gear. I'm buying it if the price is right.

I think that Throwdown is in good shape. They are now being distributed through Combat Sports International/Ringside. CSI is manufacturing just about all of the Throwdown training gear. That would explain why you've see TITLE clearing out all the Throwdown stuff.

Boomer's right on this. All TITLE has left is the old line and they're looking to unload it quickly. When CSI starts unloading the new stuff at clearance, then it MIGHT be safe to start such rumors.
