Arizona requires a licensed promoter to file a $20,000 bond before putting on a boxing or mixed martial arts contest. Ours is $600 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every promoter. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your event license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed $20,000 bond, ready to file with your promoter license. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the state insists.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
