About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Tennessee regulates professional and amateur combat sports through the Tennessee Athletic Commission, part of the Department of Commerce & Insurance. A promoter — anyone staging boxing, MMA, kickboxing, wrestling, or other combat matches — must be licensed, and the license is conditioned on a $25,000 surety bond.

The bond secures the promoter’s contractual obligations to athletes and others tied to the event. If a fighter isn’t paid, or a financial obligation connected to the promotion goes unmet, a harmed party can recover against the bond. It’s the Commission’s tool to hold promoters accountable for the money side of an event.

The bond is not insurance for the promoter. If the surety pays a valid claim, the promoter repays the surety. Promoters who pay their fighters and meet their obligations treat the bond as a license formality. We issue the $25,000 at a flat 3% with no credit check.

T.C.A. Title 68, Chapter 115 (Athletic Commission)Under T.C.A. Title 68, Chapter 115, all boxing and combat-sports promoters must file a $25,000 surety bond before being licensed by the Tennessee Athletic Commission. The bond secures the promoter’s contractual obligations to athletes in connection with boxing, MMA, kickboxing, wrestling, and combat matches or exhibitions in the state, professional and amateur alike. Confirm your required amount on your Commission application.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Tennessee boxing / combat promoter bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the $25,000 bond amount, the same for every promoter. The $25,000 is set by the Athletic Commission, so there’s no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What does the bond cover? +
The promoter’s contractual obligations to athletes and others tied to an event — most often, paying the fighters. If those obligations go unmet, a harmed party can claim against the bond. If the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Does it cover amateur events too? +
Yes. Tennessee regulates amateur combat events in the same manner as professional ones, so a promoter bond is required for amateur fight cards as well.
Is there a credit check? +
No — the application has no credit section at all. Fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
