The poster, made by London-based graphic designer Rob Hand, features Paul and Brown facing off against a red and blue background and was later published by Instagram media outlet “TheBreadBatch.”
Even sporting a “placeholder” date and venue, the flyer looks incredibly legit to those not in the loop.
In fact, it was so convincing that even Brown himself thought the poster was real, prompting an Instagram tirade against his YouTube rival.

“This is really getting out of hand with these young YouTubers,” Brown commented.
“Business is business and respect is respect! What’s going on here is not a case of respect or good business… you and your team are promoting my likeness to generate revenue before we came to an agreement.”
That’s not all: ironically, the NFL star falling for this fake poster could end up making their fight even more of a possibility, as he called for Paul and his team to “send the contract so we can take care of business.”
