That's really two questions.
Is it acceptable to fight in Crown with no intention of winning?
Yes. Some fighters will enter, and withdraw at a point prior to the
finals.
Is it acceptable to throw a fight in Crown?
Acceptable but poor form, IMO.
Someone could enter, and during the finals realize (PANIC! PANIC! OH
MY GOD, WHAT AM I DOING?!?!?) that they don't want to be Crown.
Better form would be to resign before the final, or yield without
fighting, rather than throwing the bout.
my 2 cents
