No that's not what he said.
He's said that he's repeatedly told his fighter at each stage that the amounts his opponents were asking for were too much, but that it would be worth paying as getting the additional belts would put them in a much better position.
He now has 3 of the 4 major titles and is therefore in that much better position. He has no need to overpay any more because he's the recognised number one in the division and he earns big from here on out with or without Wilder's belt.
So Wilder can either accept more money than he can get elsewhere and with it a shot at being undisputed or not. But he doesn't get to demand more than he's worth simply because he's sat on that prestigious belt for 3 years fighting the dross of the division and one old decent Cuban.
