How much does a Georgia match event permit bond cost?
$250 at the $25,000 amount, the same for every applicant.
Three steps to your permit.
Your match permit is waiting on this bond. Here’s the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
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.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.
E-sign & file with the Commission
Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your match permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

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 $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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
E-sign & file with the Commission. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your match permit application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
