Harrison barely threw a punch before being stopped in three rounds, with the 39-year-old being criticised for his performance.
And the British Board of Boxing of Control have confirmed that they will now "have to consider" withholding some or all of Harrison's purse for the fight.
"It is a very difficult course to take to stop someone getting paid when they have just frozen," said BBBC secretary Robert Smith.
"But rescinding some of the Audley Harrison's purse is something which we will have to consider.
"You have to bear in mind it was such a letdown for the 22,000 at the MEN Arena and the thousands watching at home.
"The board have rescinded purses when we feel a fighter has not tried. He did nothing all night.
"I think it would be extremely harsh to withhold money from him. However, the board will look at it when all the reports come in. But I wouldn't have thought so."
