Minnesota — Combative Sports Promoter Bond
Minnesota requires a promoter bond in favor of the State before the Office of Combative Sports issues the license. The commissioner sets the sum, which cannot be less than $10,000. Match the actual security request along with the promoter's legal identity and business authorization.

What this bond does
Section 341.30, subdivision 4, conditions the bond on faithful performance of the promoter's obligations under Chapter 341 and its rules. It is broader than a guarantee of a single fighter's purse or one private contract.
- Who needs it
- A person or business entity holding or sponsoring a combative sports contest subject to Minnesota OCS promoter licensing. The promoter application is distinct from the licenses required for combatants, officials and corners.
- Who it protects
- The bond is executed in favor of the State of Minnesota and deposited with the commissioner as a prelicensure requirement. It does not replace the separately required combatant medical and life insurance or the event request.

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
Is $10,000 always the required amount?
It is the statutory minimum. The commissioner sets the required sum, so obtain the actual request rather than assuming the minimum is sufficient for your file.
Does this only secure a contestant's purse?
The statutory condition is faithful performance of the promoter's duties under Chapter 341 and its rules. Use the complete accepted undertaking; a private single-contract guarantee does not establish compliance with that condition.
Does the bond replace the required participant insurance?
No. Section 341.34 addresses separate medical and life insurance for combatants, payable by the promoter. The State-payable security in the licensing file is a different requirement.
