Mike Tyson had tried to talk his pal 50 Cent out of buying his extensive 52-Room Farmington manor, which the rapper bought anyways despite his warnings on the house's maintenance cost.

Tyson said that he explained to the 38-year-old rapper, who purchased the boxing champ's 60,000 square feet mansion for just over 4 million dollars in 2003, that the house was just too big and it takes 25,000 dollars only to mow the lawn, Contactmusic reported.

But he didn't know how much money Cent was willing to pay, he added.

The former boxer also confessed that the house was so big that many a times after he threw a party, people would still be in his home and he didn't even know it.
