added an additional assumption
Mar 27, 2019 at 20:08 comment added Tom Solberg @Dirk yes the theorem I'm looking at (Theorem 1.3 of Villani's "Topics in Optimal Transporation") says that you can assume WLOG that the potentials are continuous, but we're taking a supremum as opposed to a maximum. I'm updating the question with some additional findings now.
Mar 27, 2019 at 19:37 comment added Dirk I think Steve meant that the inequality should hold everywhere (aren't the potentials continuous functions anyway?).
Mar 27, 2019 at 19:35 comment added Dirk The fundamental theorem of optimal transport says that any measure on the product space that has its support in the c-superdifferential of a c-concave function is optimal for it's marginals. So you can try to build a counterexample by finding a phi which has other values than 1, 0, -1 and which is also c-concave.

clarified "almost all"
Mar 27, 2019 at 19:29 comment added Tom Solberg Thanks @Steve! I made a correction regarding your second comment.
Mar 27, 2019 at 18:53 comment added Steve Two quick comments: First, I posted a wrong answer earlier where I simply messed up a detail, sorry! Second should "$\varphi(x) + \psi(y) \leq c(x, y)$ for almost all ..." be instead pointwise (since no measure on the product space is given)?
