About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Minnesota regulates boxing, mixed martial arts, and other combative sports through the Combative Sports Commission under Minn. Stat. ch. 341. Before the commissioner issues a promoter’s license, the applicant must deposit a surety bond — in an amount set by the commissioner, but not less than $10,000.

The bond is executed in favor of the State of Minnesota and is conditioned on the promoter faithfully performing their obligations under chapter 341 and the rules adopted under it — paying fighters, taxes, and fees, and following the rules that protect athletes and the public at a licensed event.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Minnesota. If a promoter fails to meet their obligations and the state or a harmed party suffers loss, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

Minn. Stat. 341.30 (promoter license bond)Minn. Stat. 341.30 requires a combative sports promoter to deposit, before licensure, a surety bond in an amount set by the commissioner that must not be less than $10,000. The bond is executed in favor of the State of Minnesota and conditioned on the promoter faithfully performing the obligations imposed by Minn. Stat. ch. 341 and the rules adopted under it. The $10,000 figure is the statutory minimum; confirm your required amount with the Commission.
