Two men who streamed the Anthony Mundine v Danny Green fight live on Facebook have offered almost identical apologies after warnings of legal action from Foxtel.

The pay-per-view fight, which was sold to Foxtel users for nearly $60, was broadcast to hundreds of thousands through the Facebook accounts of Brett Hevers and Darren Sharpe.

Mr Sharpe received a call from Foxtel representatives during the fight instructing him to stop the stream, and Foxtel boss Peter Tonagh later confirmed the pay TV provider would launch legal action against both men.

But that threat looks to have been placated by the apologies offered by Mr Hevers and Mr Sharpe, which read remarkably similarly.

This was posted on Mr Hevers' Facebook page on Friday.

Last Friday I streamed Foxtel's broadcast of the Mundine v Green 2 fight via my Facebook page to thousands of people. I know that this was illegal and the wrong thing to do. I understand that Foxtel and the event promoters invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce the fight and to broadcast it. I unreservedly apologise to Anthony Mundine and Danny Green, to the boxing community, to Foxtel, to the event promoters and to everyone out there who did the right thing and paid to view the fight. It was piracy, and I'm sorry.

And on Thursday, Mr Sharpe posted this to his Facebook page.

Both men had set up GoFundMe pages to raise money for any potential fines, which lawyers estimated could be as much as $60,000.

But with that threat eased, the money has been passed on to charity.
