What Is an Ohio Boxing and MMA Promoter Bond? 

Ohio boxing and MMA promoter bonds are license surety bonds that hold promoters liable for following all rules and regulations established by the Ohio Athletic Commission. They protect the state by ensuring that promoters: 

  • Pay all taxes owed to the state
  • Compensate all participants involved in sporting events 
  • Act according to Ohio Athletic Commission guidelines 

If an MMA promoter in Ohio breaks these bond terms, harmed parties can file a claim for compensation from the surety.

The Ohio Athletic Commission also requires a $2,500 promoter tax bond for boxing, MMA and tough person competition promoters. This guarantees that the state will receive their tax payments even if the promoter fails to do so.

How Does an Ohio Boxing and MMA Promoter Bond Work? 

By posting a boxing/MMA promoter bond, the promoter agrees to follow all rules and regulations established by the Ohio Athletic Commissioner Chapter 3773-3. The bond contract legally binds three parties: 

  1. The promoter: The principal upholding the bond obligation
  2. The Ohio Athletic Commission: The obligee of the bond
  3. The surety: The company backing the bond obligation

If the general public or the state suffers financial losses or other harm as a result of the principal’s actions, the surety bond offers protection up to the sum of the bond. Although the surety will initially cover the damages, the principal is ultimately responsible for reimbursing the surety.
