It is known that Kramnik is a clear favourite even if he cannot see the program
before the match.

I believe that the sponsors did 2 mistakes:

Mistake 1:They play against Kramnik and not against a player with rating between
2600 and 2700.

Mistake 2:They give kramnik the program before the match.

I believe that without this 2 mistakes they could pay less money for a more
interesting match(they could pay 1/10 of the money for GM's with rating between
2600 and 2700).
