About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Kansas regulates professional combat sports through the Athletic Commission in the Department of Commerce. Before a promoter can hold a professional boxing, kickboxing, full-contact karate, or mixed-martial-arts event, the Commission requires a form of security — a $10,000 surety bond is the standard choice.

The bond is a performance-and-payment guarantee: it backs the promoter's obligations under the Commission's rules, including paying contestants, officials, and Commission fees and taxes tied to the event. If a promoter fails to meet those obligations, the harmed party — or the Commission — can claim against the bond.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Kansas (the obligee). If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you. The Commission also accepts an irrevocable letter of credit, but a surety bond is usually the cheapest way to satisfy the requirement.

K.A.R. 128-2-13 (Kansas Athletic Commission)Kansas professional combat-sports promoters are regulated by the Athletic Commission (Department of Commerce) under the boxing/MMA statutes (K.S.A. 74-50,181 et seq.) and K.A.R. 128-2-13, which require a promoter to post security — commonly a $10,000 surety bond — before promoting an event. The Commission also accepts an irrevocable letter of credit. Confirm the current amount and form with the Commission.
