About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Georgia regulates professional boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts through the Athletic & Entertainment Commission. Under O.C.G.A. 43-4B-10, no one may promote a professional match without both a promoter’s license and a match permit, and the Commission may require a performance bond before issuing the permit — commonly $25,000 per event.

The match permit bond is a performance guarantee for that specific event: it backs the promoter’s obligations — paying the fighters and officials, covering required purses and fees, and complying with the Commission’s rules — so participants and the state aren’t left short if the event falls through.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim because purses or fees went unpaid, you repay the surety. Submit the application in the individual promoter’s name, as the Commission requires.

O.C.G.A. 43-4B-10O.C.G.A. 43-4B-10 requires a promoter to obtain a match permit from the Georgia Athletic & Entertainment Commission for each professional boxing, kickboxing, or MMA event, and authorizes the Commission to require a performance bond before issuing the permit — a $25,000 amount is common. The exact amount and conditions are set by the Commission; confirm yours on your permit paperwork.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $250. The $25,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if purses or fees go unpaid; it’s not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond?The Georgia Athletic & Entertainment Commission, as a condition of a match permit under O.C.G.A. 43-4B-10. The Commission may require a performance bond before issuing the permit, in addition to the promoter’s license bond.
Whose name goes on the application?The individual promoter’s name — the Commission requires the match permit and its bond in the individual promoter’s name, even if you operate through a company.
Is there a credit check?A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score. It informs approval, not price: the premium stays $250 either way.
Is the amount always $25,000?The Commission sets the amount per permit, and $25,000 is common, but it can require a different figure. Send us your permit paperwork and we’ll issue the exact amount the Commission names.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
