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 bond at $250 flat; no credit check.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Athletic Commission. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your promoter license application through the Tennessee Athletic Commission. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $250 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
