What this bond does
The bond is payable to the State of Michigan and secures faithful distribution of money owed by the promoter as a result of the event. It benefits people damaged by nonpayment of event liabilities and allows an affected person to bring an action on the bond.
- Who needs it
- A promoter arranging a Michigan boxing event subject to the Unarmed Combat Regulatory Act. The event-security requirement is separate from the promoter's annual license and does not determine whether a particular contest is exempt.
- Who it protects
- This is security for event-payment obligations, not liability insurance or the fighters' medical coverage. It must meet the Department's conditions before event approval. Buying a bond or holding an annual promoter license does not itself approve the show.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Who chooses the amount within the $20,000–$50,000 range?
The Department fixes the amount under MCL 338.3633. Obtain its actual request; the quoted range is not permission to choose the lowest sum.
Does this only secure fighter purses?
The statutory condition is broader: faithful distribution of all money owed by the promoter as a result of the event. People damaged by nonpayment of associated liabilities may bring an action on the bond.
Does the bond end thirty days after the show?
Do not assume that. The law uses thirty business days for properly filing a nonpayment complaint with the Department, and the bond remains effective until properly filed complaints are fully adjudicated.
