BOXING

is full of grandiose and catchy nicknames but I discovered a new favourite when I went to the Top Rank show at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Thursday evening. Bantamweight Floyd ‘Cashflow’ Diaz took his record to 10 wins in his first 10 fights with a split decision victory, ensuring, presumably, that the cash flow is not interrupted. I asked him how he got the nickname. ‘Floyd Mayweather gave it to me,’ he said. It figures.
