Kentucky conditions a promoter license on a $10,000 surety bond filed with the Boxing and Wrestling Commission — ours is $300 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, and license bonds like this are among the fastest things we issue.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Small fixed-amount license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Boxing and Wrestling Commission promoter application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
