Question about sky sports archived fights on catch up

A question for sky subscribers.
I've just signed up for sky sports, thanks to the half price offer. Last time I was a sky sports subscriber, I could access their catch-up stuff, which in terms of boxing included a load of fights shown on sky sports over the past year or so.
So now I'm a subscriber again and I figured I'd be able to find Barker/Geale and other recent fights, which I've only watched on streams or youtube. So far, no luck. Have sky sports stopped putting their fights on there, or am I looking in the wrong place ?

In the last year or so they have been showing the fights for a week and then deleting them from catch up
Yet they still havent decided to cancel the Prizefighter SMWs which Patrick Mendy won and an interview with Mike Tyson which they have 2 episodes of :??

There were a ton of fights saved in the library but I noticed that the library was removed a couple of months ago so eff knows why.

Dont understand that. Taking up too much space on the memory or something im guessing. You'd think with Sky's financial firepower though that they wouldnt be that tight but saying that businesses of that calibre try and save every last penny that they can so who knows.

Youtube tends to have a lot of fights anyway and if not them then dailymotion.
