About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the promoter bond actually covers

Louisiana licenses boxing, mixed-technique, and wrestling promoters through the Louisiana State Athletic Commission (the agency Title 4 of the Revised Statutes still refers to in places as the State Boxing and Wrestling Commission). Before the Commission grants a license, the promoter must post security.

La. R.S. 4:65 requires the applicant to "execute and file with the [Commission] a bond of five thousand dollars ... as a security of good faith and ability to abide by the terms and provisions of this Chapter," and lets the Commission increase that bond before approving a specific event, based on the seating capacity of the venue — $15,000 for 1,000–2,999 seats, $30,000 for 3,000–5,999, $40,000 for 6,000–9,999, and $50,000 for 10,000 or more. A certified check in the same amount is an accepted alternative to the bond.

The bond is a good-faith guarantee that you will run the event under the Commission's rules and pay what you owe — purses, officials, and other contractual obligations tied to the show. Enter the amount your license or event requires; we price it from a $100 minimum.

La. R.S. 4:65La. R.S. 4:65 requires a promoter applicant to execute and file with the Louisiana State Athletic Commission a bond of five thousand dollars as security of good faith and ability to abide by the terms and provisions of the Chapter (a certified check in the same amount is an accepted alternative). The Commission may increase the bond before approving a boxing, mixed-technique, or wrestling event based on the seating capacity of the venue: $15,000 for 1,000–2,999 seats, $30,000 for 3,000–5,999 seats, $40,000 for 6,000–9,999 seats, and $50,000 for 10,000 or more seats. The statute separately authorizes performance bonds from clubs and exempts certain wrestling promoters operating exclusively under R.S. 4:83(B) from the bond requirement — confirm your exact figure with the Commission.

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 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.

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

File with the Commission. Submit the executed bond to the Louisiana State Athletic Commission to complete your promoter license.

What sets the price

The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with your promoter details, your venue, and the bond amount your license tier requires — the executed bond generates instantly, ready to file.
