CAMPBELL Brown has apologised for the drunken punch that ended his 205-game AFL career but has been cleared of king-hitting teammate Steven May and is expected to be paid out 75 per cent of his salary for 2014.
The Suns announced they had reached an agreement with Brown to part ways after he broke May's jaw in a drunken stoush outside West Hollywood nightclub Bootsy Bellows.
Brown expressed genuine remorse at the incident and said he had no complaints about the investigation led by CEO Travis Auld or the recommendation from chairman John Witheriff and director Bob East that his three-year career with the Suns be ended.
"I'm really disappointed, it is not the way any player wants to finish their career," he said.
"But I think the process was thorough and very fair, I have been more than happy with the way the process has happened.
"I am obviously really disappointed with the way it has finished-up but I take full responsibility for my actions on the night.
"Actions have consequences and clearly they have helped finish my career early."
The Suns believe the fight occurred when May tried to re-enter the nightclub to take a photo of pop princess Rihanna and was restrained by Hawthorn premiership player Josh Gibson.
May and Gibson began arguing and Brown intervened.
It is understood May was heavily intoxicated, vomiting and confused about what had happened to him on his return to the hotel. When informed of the events by teammates, he became irate and waited in the lobby for Brown's return.

It is alleged he attempted to retaliate when Brown returned. Suns CEO Travis Auld refused to divulge any details of the fight or the events before or after but stressed it was not an unprovoked attack by Brown.
"It is important that the investigation did not provide any evidence that there was a king-hit that took place," he said.
"That is very important for both this football club and for Campbell to put on the record."

May will escape an official sanction over his behaviour on the night but is expected to be chastised and given a warning.
"Steven and Campbell have both spoken and apologised to each other for the roles they played in the incident," Auld said.
"There was certainly two people involved.
"We will have a conversation with Steven when he returns to the club about the role he did play in this and how he may avoid those situations in the future."
The pair sat alongside each other on the flight home from the US and were able to patch-up their differences.
Brown described the incident as regrettable.
"Steven and I are friends, I have checked-in with him to see how he is going pre and post-surgery and we will continue to be friends," he said.
"It was a spur of the moment mistake, if I could go back and change it I would but you can't do that in life."
