You should visit his Isles to see if he has gold producing dragons. For players who have a couple, spending gold on boosts in no big deal. Also, many players purposely prepare all their dens, nests and evo temples with potentially high point dragons as soon as we get notification of an impending LB event. All are ready to be harvested at the start of the event ('perfect storm'). Toss a boost on top, and that can result in a lot of points.

Honestly, from what others have posted on this site and the S8 site, ~6000 points isn't outrageous or terribly uncommon. Some people put up 10,000-20,000 points in the first day.
