About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Arizona regulates boxing and mixed martial arts under A.R.S. Title 5, Chapter 2, and conditions a promoter license on a $20,000 surety bond. The bond is a performance-and-payment guarantee: it stands behind a promoter’s obligations for a contest — paying contestants their purses and meeting the duties the law and the commission impose.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Arizona together with harmed parties — fighters, officials, the public. If a promoter fails to pay a contestant or otherwise violates the combat-sports law, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Promoters who pay their fighters and run clean cards treat the bond as a license formality. The combat-sports program in Arizona has moved between agencies over the years; we issue the bond to the obligee your current license names.

A.R.S. Title 5, Chapter 2 (combat sports)Arizona regulates boxing and mixed martial arts under A.R.S. Title 5, Chapter 2, which conditions a promoter license on a $20,000 surety bond guaranteeing the promoter’s obligations for a contest, including payment of contestants. The regulating body (historically the Arizona Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission, administered within state government) is named as obligee on your license — confirm the current obligee on your application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Arizona boxing & MMA promoter bond?The premium is $120, the same for every promoter — set by our carrier’s rate book for this specific bond. The $20,000 bond amount is set by statute, and $120 is the checkout price: no quote process.
Do I pay the $20,000?No. You pay $120. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond guarantee?That you meet your obligations as a promoter under Arizona’s combat-sports law — including paying contestants their purses. If you fail to and someone is harmed, they can claim against the bond; if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check?Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. Credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs — the price stays $120 either way.
When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your promoter license to stay valid.
