About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

North Carolina regulates boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts through the Boxing & Combat Sports Commission under Article 68 of Chapter 143. An applicant for a promoter’s license must file a surety bond payable to the Commission as a condition of licensure.

The bond is a fighter- and public-protection guarantee. It is payable for the benefit of any person injured or damaged by the promoter’s failure to comply with Article 68 — or by the promoter’s failure to fulfill the obligations of any contract related to holding a match. In plain terms: it backs the purses, the vendors, and the contracts behind an event.

The statute sets a minimum of $10,000, and the Commission can require more at its discretion. This corporate-promoter form carries the $10,000 figure; if the Commission sets a higher amount for your events, send us the notice and we’ll issue it. If a claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you.

Article 68, Chapter 143 (Boxing & Combat Sports Commission)Under Article 68 of Chapter 143 of the North Carolina General Statutes (and the Commission’s rules in Title 18, Chapter 9 of the NC Administrative Code), a promoter applicant must file a surety bond payable to the Boxing & Combat Sports Commission for the benefit of any person injured or damaged by the promoter’s failure to comply with the Article or to fulfill a match-related contract. The bond shall be no less than $10,000; the Commission may set a higher amount at its discretion.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the North Carolina boxing & MMA promoter bond?The premium is $100 — set by our carrier's rate book for this corporate-promoter form, the same for every promoter. The amount is fixed on the form, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the Commission and harmed parties if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Can the Commission require more than $10,000?Yes. The statute sets $10,000 as the minimum, and the Boxing & Combat Sports Commission can set a higher amount at its discretion. This form carries the $10,000 figure; if your notice names a higher amount, send it to us and we’ll match it.

Is there a credit check?The application has no credit section at all — most applications approve instantly. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one rarely need a check.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the promoter license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.

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.
