On May 21, 2009, with the enactment of Alabama’s Senate Bill (SB) 98, the Alabama Boxing Commission was created. SB 98 also requires all Alabama-based boxing promoters to be officially licensed by the state, and to obtain and post a performance bond (license bond). Specific amounts and conditions for the surety bond will be determined by the newly created Alabama Boxing Commission.
On top of that requirement, boxing promoters must get a permit for each boxing match held in Alabama. The Alabama Boxing Commission may also require promoters to obtain a separate performance bond to go along with each fight permit, which would be in addition to the original surety bond required for them to be licensed promoters.
