Did you try
fig.savefig("bla.pdf", bbox_inches='tight') ?
Wait, that is what you said. However, in my case it seemed to work on all sides (e.g. see the ugly figure here: https://www.cct.lsu.edu/~knarf/parma/old_resolution_study/speed0.png where it even cut things on the left side.) The remaining whitespace on the plot itself is probably from subplot_adjust() with a large value of 'left').
