What it is and who needs it.
What the promoter bond actually guarantees
The Alabama Athletic Commission licenses the people who promote professional boxing, bare-knuckle boxing, tough-man contests, professional wrestling, and amateur or professional MMA in the state. Under Code of Alabama §41-9-1029, a promoter license application must be accompanied by a performance bond in an amount and on conditions the Commission sets.
The bond is a payment-and-performance guarantee: it backs the promoter's obligations around the event — paying fighters, officials, and taxes, and complying with the laws and rules governing the match. It is a three-party arrangement — you (the promoter/principal), the surety carrier, and the Commission (the obligee).
The Commission may also require an additional performance bond before it issues a match permit, so the figure can vary by event. Because there is no single statutory amount, enter the figure the Commission set for you — premiums start at $100, with your exact price at the application; no credit check up to $50,000.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The term is set on the carrier’s application; the premium covers the period shown there.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Commission. Submit the executed performance bond, payable to the Alabama Athletic Commission, with your promoter license or match permit. Wet-ink original on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
