Typically the programme contains a section for you to score your own fights, probably really helpful to the one fan in 1000 who has thought to bring a pen.
Did the programme have the correct opponent for each fight? The running order printed in Boxing News didn't have an opponent for Vinny Mitchell I don't think.
Its nearly always "TBA" in the programme.

I am guessing that... Sports Network view programmes as a time consuming and often costly exercise.

As such, they have handed responsibility for them over to a 3rd party. THey have probably done so on a deal where the 3rd party covers all costs, but receives all proceeds.

Unfortunately it seems the 3rd party knows nothing about the sport and have put it in a slack effort. But sure Sports Network should have proof read it?
