South Carolina licenses combat-sports promoters through the State Athletic Commission and conditions the license on a $10,000 bond. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every promoter. The application is five minutes.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check 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 arrives by email, ready to file with your South Carolina State Athletic Commission promoter license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
South Carolina regulates boxing and other combat-sports events through the State Athletic Commission, under S.C. Code Title 40, Chapter 81 and Chapter 20 of the Code of Regulations. A promoter who stages a licensed boxing, kickboxing, MMA, or wrestling event must hold a $10,000 promoter bond.
The bond guarantees your adherence to the Commission’s rules — paying fighters and officials, remitting fees and taxes due, and honoring your obligations for the event. If you default on those, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
Note that some promoters who don’t carry the required accident and medical insurance for participants face an additional $10,000 bond — confirm on your Commission application whether one bond or two applies to your events. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
