MD promoter's expense bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
A Maryland promoter of boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, or MMA must back the expenses tied to the event for its participants. Under Business Regulation §4-306, the State Athletic Commission requires an expense bond — a minimum of $2,000 — so participants are covered. Pricing is 1% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum, and approval runs a soft credit pull only, never a hard inquiry.

What it is and who needs it.
What the expense bond actually guarantees
Maryland regulates professional boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and MMA through the State Athletic Commission under Business Regulation Title 4, Subtitle 3. As a condition of a promoter license, §4-306 requires the promoter to furnish a surety bond — and the Commission requires a promoter’s expense bond covering the expenses of the event for its participants.
The expense bond ensures that participants in the contest have their event expenses covered if the promoter fails to pay them. The minimum amount is $2,000. This is distinct from the boxing and wrestling tax bond, which backs the State’s athletic tax — many promoters carry both.
It is not insurance for you. If a participant is harmed and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Promoters who pay their event obligations on time treat the bond as a licensing formality. Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, with a soft credit pull only, never a hard inquiry.
