NJ promoter bonds.
$300. Five minutes.
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 $300 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount, with no credit check on this bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.
