About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Kansas regulates professional combat sports through the Athletic Commission in the Department of Commerce. Before a promoter can hold a professional boxing, kickboxing, full-contact karate, or mixed-martial-arts event, the Commission requires a form of security — a $10,000 surety bond is the standard choice.

The bond is a performance-and-payment guarantee: it backs the promoter's obligations under the Commission's rules, including paying contestants, officials, and Commission fees and taxes tied to the event. If a promoter fails to meet those obligations, the harmed party — or the Commission — can claim against the bond.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Kansas (the obligee). If a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety — it is not insurance for you. The Commission also accepts an irrevocable letter of credit, but a surety bond is usually the cheapest way to satisfy the requirement.

K.A.R. 128-2-13 (Kansas Athletic Commission)Kansas professional combat-sports promoters are regulated by the Athletic Commission (Department of Commerce) under the boxing/MMA statutes (K.S.A. 74-50,181 et seq.) and K.A.R. 128-2-13, which require a promoter to post security — commonly a $10,000 surety bond — before promoting an event. The Commission also accepts an irrevocable letter of credit. Confirm the current amount and form with the Commission.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Kansas combat-sports promoter bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the $10,000 penal sum, the same for every promoter. The bond amount is set by the Commission, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you meet your obligations as a promoter under the Athletic Commission's rules — paying contestants, officials, and Commission fees and taxes tied to the event. If you don't and someone is harmed, they can claim against the bond.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. The fixed $10,000 promoter bond doesn't need one.
When does it renew? +
This bond is subject to a statutory renewal date and renews on July 1 of the term you select. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your promoter license never lapses over a missed email.
