English term or phrase: I was offered...
Wypowiada sie Little Richrad na temat Beatlesów:

i was offered 50% of them [The Beatles] by Brian Epstein [promotor Beatlesów]

Chce sie upewnic czy dobrze rozumiem ze chodzi o 50 % dochodów z grupy? Zastanawiam sie gdyz pozniej nie jest sprecyzowane o co dokladnie chodzi.

Explanation:
Oto podobna wypowiedź na ten sam temat:

Little Richard: When they came off Brian Epstein said to me, "Richard, I'll give you fifty percent of the Beatles". I couldn't accept because I never thought they could make it. "Brian said, "Take the masters [of Beatle songs] back to America and give them to the record company for me". I didn't do that, but I did call up some people for them (Giuliano. Lost Int. p. 362).

do odpowiedzi [Katarzyna Landa]: miało być disagree, oczywiście.
I do Askera: to bardzo prawdopodobne, że zaproponowano mu mniej. Dla Angoli był nieznanym muzykiem z drugiej strony sadzawki i menadżer ryzykował, organizując koncerty.

Zaoferowano mi 50 % udzialu w dochodach promotora.


Explanation:
Poniewaz Epstein byl promotorem, jego dochod wynosil procent X dochodow grupy.
Polowe z tego oferowano panu LR.
Tak ja to widze.

Brian Epstein zaproponował mi 50% z dochodu (z gaży) Beatlesów.


Explanation:
Tak to rozumiem po Twoich uwagach, że Little Richard był wtedy bardziej znany. Nie wiem oczywiście, co następuje potem,czy Epstein oczekiwał czegoś od Richarda? Chciał Beatlesów pod niego podpiąc? Tak wiec decyzja, czy to 50% stawki Beatlesow, czy udzial w ich przychodzie z koncertu, nadal lezy w twoich rekach :)

Explanation:
It's not clear in English, so I would make the translation into Polish just as ambiguous. You cannot be expected to read minds. Good luck.
