There is no $content output in the page-front.tpl.php which is why the front page content doesn't show up. I deliberated about this and decided that as the Boldy theme as designed by didn't really have a content area on the home page, I would omit it entirely.
As you have discovered you can delete the page-front.tpl.php and have content on the front page if you wish, alternatively you could add some code to format a content area and print $content where-ever you want it to show up.
As with most themes once you download it you can do with it as you wish to make it your own, including adding a $content region on the homepage or removing the homepage template all together.
