That's what I said when the fight was mentioned, but not fully announced.

Pertinent excerpt from that post:

As for which fight is the main and which is the co-main, I think Joshua is the bigger global star who will bring more of his own fans to the show, so it's likely he fights in the main event. But Wilder is fighting the more well-known opponent and that fight should be the more exciting, edge-of-your-seat affair. Which is why I think that fight should be the main event. However, if Wilder-Parker is first, it might put some pressure on AJ to perform more spectacularly. Maybe they'll end up doing a media event coin toss to determine who headlines the show.

Deontay better not be sleeping on Parker. Less talk and more working on your fundamentals Deontay , before you go out there and embarrass Alabama more than it already embarrasses itself. Alabama's new motto , " At least we aint Tennessee " . It's currently 6:13 pm, November 21st ,1682 in Alabama.
The Joshua fight will be the Main Event , because he's the bigger name everywhere except here in 'Merica. Deontay is right though, his fight most likely will be better than Joshuas , if he's still fighting like he's terrified of getting hit. Man , I hope not , it's sad to see a guy that big and strong fighting like a scared fifth grade girl.
SACK UP DAMMIT , JOSHUA ,FIGHT LIKE YOU HAVE SOME TESTOSTERONE IN YOUR SYSTEM.

Sorry y'all, it's just that it pisses me off.

No way Hearn was ever going to let Deontay main event. Still, safety-first vs highlight reel KO.. that's a hard act to follow, Edward.

I'm not sure how much say Hearn really had

In regards to the quality of the fight, it probably should be the main event. But Joshua's star power dwarfs Wilder's by lightyears. Wilder only sells when he's fighting a brand name. Joshua could fight a complete nobody and everybody in the UK will come to the fight and watch it on TV. Regardless, this whole card is the completely stacked and should be an easy sell to fans(at least the hardcores).

Does Wilder not know how the A-Side sitch works?!?!?!

Hearn is the main promoter? Thought it was Queensbury or am I confused?
