Pavón started his career at hometown club Victoria and then played alongside compatriots Walter Nahún López, Reynaldo Clavasquín and Juan Manuel Cárcamo for BSV Bad Bleiberg in the Austrian Football First League. He returned to Honduras after three seasons in Austria in 2002 to play for F.C. Motagua, Platense F.C. and C.D.S. Vida.
