About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Kentucky regulates professional boxing, professional wrestling, and mixed martial arts through the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Commission, and conditions a promoter license on a surety bond. The bond is a performance and payment guarantee — it stands behind the purses, taxes, and obligations a promoter owes when staging a regulated event.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Commonwealth of Kentucky (the obligee), with athletes and the Commission as the protected parties. If a promoter fails to pay a contracted purse or violates the combat-sports statutes, 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 follow the rules treat the bond as a license formality.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Kentucky boxing or wrestling promoter bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the $10,000 bond amount, the same for every promoter. The $10,000 is set by the Boxing and Wrestling 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 against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Small fixed-amount license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many promoters finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the promoter license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
