Many boxers today starts late pro and/or fighting 1-2 times yearly are also factors. You have Beterbiev with just 20+ fights at the age of 40, in comparison Pac already had 70+ fights by the time he reached the same age. They have the same Age but different mileage as Pacquiao was way past his prime at that point of his career.
Beterbiev has 300+ fights in the amateurs in his defence
Fighting the likes of Kovi and Usyk to boot
Yup
Once upon a time it was a springboard for future Olympic entry’s but not anymore

Potential revenue without doubt but also professional success which in turn would bring all positives to a gathering

100+ practice "fights" are a waste of time.
Unless you start out at 15 and enter the pros at 20.
I wouldn't want me or a fighter I'm training to get accustomed to being a professional amateur

Get that money while you can
Different times and different goals
I’m sure if they can go back and redo it they would
Chit happens , many just didn't know better
Eapecially Europeans , it was their scapegoat

And then their dilapidated fan base cry about homeboy being too old to compete, after 20 fights
