After initially offering Chris Brown and Drake $5 million to duke out their frustrations with each other in a pay-per-view boxing match, celebrity boxing promoter, Damon Feldman, has found the next best thing, celebrity look-alikes.

The promoter has successfully found stunt-doubles to get into the ring in Los Angeles on September 22nd. The match was inspired after a bar brawl that took place June 14th. Multiple sources have confirmed that both celebrities attended New York City’s W.I.P nightclub in SoHo, where bottles were thrown, injuring several people.

Additionally, Feldman has also offered rappers The Game and 40 Glocc $100,000 each to enter a match against each other. The former G-Unit artists declined the offer.
