About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Nebraska’s State Athletic Commissioner has sole jurisdiction over professional boxing, wrestling, mixed martial arts, kickboxing, muay thai, and related matches and exhibitions. A promoter license is conditioned on a bond that backs the promoter’s obligations to the Commission, the participants, and the public.

The bond runs to the State for the benefit of those who could be harmed if a promoter fails to meet the Athletic Commission’s requirements — for example, unpaid fees, purses, or taxes tied to an event. It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the State (the obligee).

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Promoters who run clean, fully-funded events treat the bond as a licensing formality.

Neb. Rev. Stat. 81-8,128 et seq. (81-8,132)Nebraska regulates professional boxing, wrestling, and mixed martial arts under Neb. Rev. Stat. 81-8,128 through 81-8,142, administered by the State Athletic Commissioner. Section 81-8,132 conditions a professional license on a bond in the sum of not less than $5,000. Confirm the current amount and form with the Nebraska Athletic Commission, which sets the filing requirements.

After you buy

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

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 Athletic Commission. Your executed $5,000 bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Nebraska Athletic Commission. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
