Unless...
OK, had a different thought on that smile at the end.
What if Wilson saw Foreman's thinly veiled request for the boxing tickets for what it was (a thinly veiled request for the boxing tickets), and remembered his conversation from last week with Foreman (Continuity? Really? Maybe so...) about wanting Foreman to deal with his own issues with House instead of dumping them on Wilson? Could it be that Wilson gave Foreman the tickets deliberately for the purpose of Foreman taking House to the fight, so the two of them could build a better relationship?
That would explain the "passivity" Wilson showed in handing over the tickets, and explain the smile at the end: Wilson was happy his plan worked.
...Obviously, if that was the intent of TPTB, they did rather a crappy job of executing it, given that it took this obsessed fan over twelve hours to realize that could've been the intent. BUT STILL.
And I am more convinced than ever that, relationship-wise, House is Wilson's son. You just don't get that level of enmeshment and entitlement in a peer relationship, but parents of toddlers recognize it all too well.
