About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Utah regulates professional and amateur unarmed combat — boxing, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts — through the Pete Suazo Utah Athletic Commission, under Title 9, Chapter 23 (the Pete Suazo Utah Athletic Commission Act). A promoter must be licensed and approved before holding a contest, and the commission requires a bond.

Under Section 9-23-307, a promoter posts a surety bond (or cashier's check) before approval. The statute sets the floor at the greater of $10,000 or the amount of the purse, and the commission can require more — this page issues the $20,000 amount when that is what your application calls for. The bond backs the purse owed contestants and any taxes and fees owed the commission.

It's a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Utah, with contestants and the commission as the protected parties. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — so promoters who pay their fighters and remit their fees treat it as a routine filing.

Utah Code 9-23-307 (Pete Suazo Commission)Under Utah Code 9-23-307, a promoter must post a surety bond or cashier's check with the Pete Suazo Utah Athletic Commission before a contest is approved, in the greater of $10,000 or the amount of the purse, conditioned on payment of the purse, taxes, and fees. The commission can set a higher amount; this page issues the $20,000 amount. Confirm the required amount with the commission for your event.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Utah athletic promoter bond? +
At the $20,000 amount this page issues, the premium is $600 — a flat 3% of the bond amount. If your event requires a different amount (the statute floor is the greater of $10,000 or the purse), send it to us and we will issue that figure at the same flat 3%.
How is the bond amount set? +
Under 9-23-307, the bond must be at least the greater of $10,000 or the amount of the purse, and the commission can require more. This page covers the $20,000 amount; confirm the figure the commission named for your contest.
Do I pay the $20,000? +
No. You pay $600. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability to contestants and the commission if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term — useful if you promote contests regularly. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so a standing bond never lapses between events.
