Most pro sports pay bonuses based on specific results per game or over the course of a season or for receiving specific awards.
Beyond bonuses (because I'm sure you're going to say that's not the same thing) it's less that they get paid for weekly results, and more that their weekly results ensure they stay hired and therefore paid. So their weekly results matter.

NFL is moving towards more players getting guaranteed contracts. NHL already has guaranteed contracts up to 8 years in length and next to no performance bonuses. Similar with the NBA. So this is just more of an example of yes sports are moving in that direction with some already there.
LIV also isn't likely going to be dishing out 5+ year contracts to everyone. A lot of the initial deals are based on the risk that the league fails.
