If your sponsoring a visitor who has little to no available funds, does it matter as slong as the sponsor can show sufficient available funds?

If your sponsoring the visit, you can show your bank statments is it a family visitor.

I had applied for my mum and sister to visit me in the UK on my bank statements and my letters although the visa was refused(due to other reasons, being photocopies) but the appeal was subsequently granted and the visa was issued

So I believe yes you can sponsor a visitor without their statements but they should provide strong ties to their home country which would show the intention to return back at the end of the visit. You should also be able to pay their return ticket and accomodation

Does it not cover a boyfriend? I am sure it does. Anyway, OP's question did not include a family member, but a sponsor. Anyone can be a sponsor, such as a friend, a company, an organization, etc, and as long as a sponsor can fulfil necessary requirements, there should be no problem with a successful visa application.
