The second you copy a bunch of things into one field, it becomes very hard to have a useful relevancy. Especially, since they are now parsed according to that target field's analyzer chain and your original field's chains become irrelevant.
There was somewhere an article on using payloads for boost, but it was more a bit of a hack. Instead, look at eDismax as you can specify the list of fields you want to search and assign the individual boosts to them, just as you requested.
