Possibly It was purely economical he would have had to buy her dead husbands property and if she had a male child the property would have gone to that son instead of his current close relatives. Also the price would be determined by how long it was until the jubilee & his estate was worth that much less.

What is a Boaz anointing?
Mike Murdock (a tele evangelist) explains it as: Anointed numbers (and a Boaz anointing)- “The reason I’m praying for 70 is that number is a anointing number under Moses, And God said whoever the 70 people are that respect your mantle , that respect your anointing, Moses every time I bless you I’ll bless them. What I’m asking God to do is every time He blesses mike Murdock he blesses you, every time he gives me a financial idea he gives you one. Every time he silences the Devil for me he’ll silences an enemy for you. Every time God heals my son he heals yours. That’s a Boaz anointing, the anointing you respect is the anointing that grows in your life.” I believe Murdock invented it and I don't understand what it has to do with the book of Ruth. Boaz means "strength. " The story of Boaz is found in the Book of Ruth. I know Boaz means strength so it can't have anything to do with the name. Boaz was a very wealthy man who lived in Bethlehem. When Naomi returned to Bethlehem with her widowed daughter-in-law, Ruth, she sent Ruth into the fields of Boaz to glean. Boaz learned that Ruth's deceased husband was a distant relative of his. He acted kindly towards Ruth and instructed his farm workers to leave extra sheaves of barley for her to gather. Ruth had another relative of her late husband who was closer than Boaz. By law, the other relative was obligated to marry Ruth, as stated in Deuteronomy 25:5-10. Boaz confronted the other relative with this law, and after the relative refused to marry Ruth, Boaz agreed to marry Ruth, and to buy the estate of Ruth's deceased husband. After they got married, Ruth had a son named Obed, who became the father of Jesse, who became the father of David. Boaz and Ruth became the great-grandparents of King David. It sounds like he just took a wealth man in the Bible and tied in other Biblical stuff and made up an anointing.
What were the good things boaz did for the Ruth?
Ruth goes to where Boaz is sleeping at night and lies down at the foot of his bed. She does this on the instructions of her mother in law Naomi. Boaz is a relative of Ruth's dead husband and under the law of Moses when a man died childless, a close relative should marry the widow (Deu_25:5-10), this was to perpetuate the family name and keep the land in the family. It was especially important that when a man died without a son, someone should marry his widow so that a son would be born and the name carried on. Ruth had been left childless. Since Boaz was a relative of Elimelech, he was eligible to serve as redeeming relative by marrying her. And not only was he eligible; he was willing. I suppose you could say in this way Ruth was demonstrating she liked Boaz

Was Boaz a family member to Ruth?
We know very little of Kilion (Ruth's husband) from the narrative and certainly not enough to know if he and Boaz were close friends. However, since Boaz was very familiar with Naomi, Kilion's father, it stands to reason that they were probably friendly, but there is no certainty in this.
