New Jersey requires every licensed combative-sports promoter — boxing, MMA, kickboxing, wrestling — to file a $10,000 bond with the State Athletic Control Board under N.J.S.A. 5:2A-16. Ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond, and the application collects no credit information.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
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 promoter license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
New Jersey licenses combative-sports promoters — boxing, wrestling, MMA, kickboxing, and Muay Thai — through the State Athletic Control Board, and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond under N.J.S.A. 5:2A-16. The bond is a performance-and-tax guarantee backing how you run a sanctioned event.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State Athletic Control Board (the obligee). The bond conditions you to file the post-event ticket-sales report on time and to pay the taxes due on ticket, television, and radio receipts. If you fail to, the Board can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The amount is fixed at $10,000 by statute, and the bond must stay active for the life of your promoter license. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your $10,000 filing stays continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond’s application doesn’t collect credit information.
