Before issuing a match permit for a professional boxing, kickboxing, or MMA event, the Georgia Athletic & Entertainment Commission can require a performance bond in addition to the promoter’s license bond under O.C.G.A. 43-4B-10 — commonly $25,000. Ours is $750 flat, 3% of the bond amount, with one soft credit pull.
















Your match permit is waiting on this bond. Here’s the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Submit it in the individual promoter’s name, with business details and the effective date. 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 bond, ready to file with your match permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Georgia regulates professional boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts through the Athletic & Entertainment Commission. Under O.C.G.A. 43-4B-10, no one may promote a professional match without both a promoter’s license and a match permit, and the Commission may require a performance bond before issuing the permit — commonly $25,000 per event.
The match permit bond is a performance guarantee for that specific event: it backs the promoter’s obligations — paying the fighters and officials, covering required purses and fees, and complying with the Commission’s rules — so participants and the state aren’t left short if the event falls through.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim because purses or fees went unpaid, you repay the surety. Submit the application in the individual promoter’s name, as the Commission requires.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit in the individual promoter’s name; the bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
