Oh, no. Hisoka definitely did not intend to throw the match. After all, he'd been wanting that fight with Chrollo from the start. What I'm saying is, when he knew he was gonna lose, he used his "death" as a means of retiring. As for whether or not Chrollo knew he was "only mostly dead" instead of "completely dead", remains to be seen. Although, if we're going under the impression Chrollo thought Hisoka was "completely dead", it soon became apparent that he wasn't since Hisoka went and killed both Kortopi and Shalnark right away. And since Chrollo had their abilities in his book, they would disappear from the book. (But that's getting slightly off topic, maybe.)
