The Surety Bond for MMA, Boxing, and Martial Arts Promoters

Promoters are required to purchase a surety bond that will guarantee the payment of taxes in connection with the event.

The bond also serves as a guarantee that the promoters will pay all officials, honor all contracts, and comply with all Washington rules governing this sports promotion.

Amount of the Surety Bond

The minimum amount for this surety bond is $10,000; however, the amount a promoter will be required to purchase will be determined by the Washington Department of Licensing.

No ceiling or maximum on that amount is provided by the Department in its legislation.

While the cost of the Washington MMA, martial arts, or professional boxing promoter bond will be at least $10,000, and, possibly much higher, the price you will pay for the bond will be a fraction of that amount.

As a rough guideline, the cost of the bond will largely be determined by:
