What this bond does
Chapter 147, Section 34 requires Commission-satisfactory surety and filing before the described license is granted. It secures the Commonwealth sums identified in Section 40 and compliance with Sections 32–47, Commission rules and other applicable Commonwealth laws.
- Who needs it
- The actual promoter named in the Commission license application, including its individual and business information. The posted application identifies boxing, MMA and Muay Thai selections; confirm the actual approved sport and event rather than assuming every combat discipline is authorized.
- Who it protects
- The statute names the Commission as the recipient and separately provides forfeiture to the Commonwealth, recoverable by the Attorney General. The bond may stipulate up to $10,000 for each case of noncompliance. That case figure is not a substitute $10,000 bond or general participant accident insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is $10,000 the required bond amount?
Section 34 and the application state a $50,000 penal sum. The separate provision concerns a stipulated forfeiture of up to $10,000 for each case of noncompliance; it does not create a smaller option on this listing.
Who is named in the statutory security?
It runs to the Commission. The Commonwealth-payment condition and Attorney General's recovery of forfeiture are separate statutory features, not a reason to rename the recipient.
Does this automatically authorize any combat-sport event?
No. Match the actual sport on the license application and obtain the Commission's licensing and applicable event approvals. Bond issuance alone does not authorize a match.
