About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the combative sports bond actually covers

Arkansas regulates combative sports — boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, martial arts, Muay Thai, and mixed combinations — through the State Athletic Commission under A.C.A. 17-22-101 et seq., administered by the Department of Labor and Licensing. A promoter must be licensed and bonded to put on events.

The promoter's bond is a financial guarantee tied to your events: it stands behind the gross-receipts tax you owe the state, any fines or civil penalties, and the amounts you owe to officials and contestants — the fighters, referees, and judges who worked your show.

It is not insurance for you. If you fail to pay what you owe and a claim is made, the bond pays, and you repay the surety. The Commission sets the amount based on your events; premiums start at $100, with your exact price shown at the application. The application collects no credit information.

A.C.A. 17-22-101 et seq. (State Athletic Commission)Arkansas Code Annotated 17-22-101 et seq. establishes the State Athletic Commission, which licenses and bonds promoters of combative sports (boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, martial arts, and mixed forms). The promoter bond secures the gross-receipts tax, fines and civil penalties, and amounts owed to officials and contestants. The required amount is set by the Commission — confirm the figure for your promoter license on your application.
