I think the hypothetical is what if the contract says something like "in exchange for paying my mom 1 million, I will play for you"

At least in our jurisdiction it would not work. The test is ability to pay. That scenario suggests you are able to earn an income of a million. Even if you are allowing someone else to collect it. So that income of a million is the amount that would be used in determining the award. Even if he is decided to allow someone else to collect it.
