I don't think that Hisoka would lose on purpose and fake his death to retire from Heaven's Arena. But he only did it cause he wanted Chrollo to think he was dead so he could go after him later. After all the fight was a fight to the death and Chrollo probably wouldn't have accepted if Hisoka decided to surrender after he realized he was gonna lose.
