How Does a Kentucky MMA Promoter Bond Work?

A promoter bond is a legal agreement between three parties:

  1. Principal: The promoter purchasing the bond
  2. Obligee: The Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority (KBWA) requiring the bond
  3. Surety: The provider issuing you the bond

As the principal, you are responsible for upholding Title 201 Chapter 27. If you don’t submit the proper fees or pay participants, harmed parties can file claims to the surety company.
