OH fight promoter bonds.
$600. Five minutes.
Ohio requires every boxing, mixed martial arts, or tough-person promoter to file a $20,000 surety bond with the Ohio Athletic Commission. Ours is $600 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Ohio licenses combat-sports promoters through the Ohio Athletic Commission. Under ORC 3773.35, a promoter’s license application (except for wrestling events) must be accompanied by a surety bond of not less than $20,000, conditioned on compliance with ORC 3773.31 to 3773.57 and the Commission’s rules.
The bond is a payment-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind the people a promoter is obligated to pay for an event — contestants, officials, physicians — and the promoter’s duties under combat-sports law. If a promoter fails to pay or violates the rules, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
