About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A boxing & MMA promoter bond is a faithful-performance guarantee. New York licenses professional combative sport promoters through the State Athletic Commission, and the state wants a financial backstop that you'll run sanctioned events in line with the law and the Commission's rules.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of New York (the obligee). If a promoter fails to perform the obligations the Athletic Commission requires, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to the $10,000 penal sum.

This is the $10,000 faithful-performance bond. New York's combative sport rules also reference a separate $20,000 bond tied to event obligations like purses and related expenses — a different filing. This page covers the $10,000 bond; if your license calls for both, the same short application applies to each.

NY licensing requirementProfessional combative sports are governed by Article 41 of the NY General Business Law, administered by the State Athletic Commission as a division of the Department of State. Promoters file the required bond with the Commission as a condition of licensure.

FAQ

Common questions.

Why is the price exactly $100?The bond amount is fixed at $10,000, and our carrier's rate book sets the premium for this specific bond at $100 flat, no markup.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many promoters finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information at all — there's no credit section on this bond. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this issue without one.
Is there also a $20,000 bond?There can be. New York's combative sport rules reference a separate $20,000 bond tied to event obligations like purses and related expenses, in addition to this $10,000 faithful-performance bond. They're separate filings — check what your specific license requires, and we can issue either through the same quick process.
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.
