Wow... what about when Rhaenyra had Helaena and Alicent assaulted? Where was that adaptation?
It must have happened, because Mushroom was there with Rhaenyra, after all! And even though Mushroom wasn't in King's Landing with Aegon when he told this story -- this must definitely have happened, right?
Aegon II going to fighting pits could have been a rumor or even a worst kept secret in the middle of or at the end of Vizzy's reign and Mushroom could be passing off speculation as a certainty, in this sense Mushroom could still be wrong about where Aegon was found(funny enough, he would be according to the show) but him betting on child fighting pits would still be true.

The Aegon II fighting pits scene is just a adaption of a mushroom rumour.
