May and co-presenter Richard Hammond were rumoured to be demanding more money than the BBC was prepared to pay, prompting speculation that they could leave the show.
However, May told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I'm not really sure where it came from, I think it is someone making trouble.
"I have never stormed off over money or contracts. I am paid quite well by Top Gear, I am pretty happy, and I have never seen Richard Hammond storm off either."
May acknowledged that Jeremy Clarkson was paid more and had recently agreed a deal in which he will get a share of international Top Gear-related proceeds from BBC Worldwide.
Joking that he was paid enough to "go for a curry and go to the pub", May said: "We don't talk about it. It is unseemly, unBritish, ungentlemanly."
